I'm not really down on Enchanters, but it's my opinion that they just aren't as useful as a straight Mage, at least not unless you've got another Mage to do the mopping-up. Sure, an Enchanter can neutralize whole rooms full of enemies, but actually killing them is another matter. Yes, they've got Abi-Dalzim's, but do you really want to toss an ABHW where a Fireball would do just as well? And they don't even have two of the very best disabling spells in the book: Stinking Cloud and Web. No Cloudkill, no Death Fog, no Mordenkainen's Sword--and no Contingencies or Sequencers.

I must admit that I have been remiss in not checking to see if Specialist Mages can use Wands that cast spells forbidden to their School.
