I'm trying to shy away from giving him ToB abilities because there are players who use Imp Irenicus and don't have ToB. Yes, really.

Skull Trap does the same kind of damage as Wilting ... but less of it. In addition, enemies basically only cast spells at people, so he'd never really have the skull traps just floating around ... so it seems inferior to Wilting on all fronts.

FoD was "Finger of Death" -- he already has it.

I'm wary of Imprisonment because there's basically no defense against it -- imagine a party in which the only mage is Imprisoned first. Now no one can read the freedom scroll, and the rest of the party is basically doomed to be picked off one by one.

Nishruu is an interesting idea. But consider this -- they're basically only effective against other mages -- they drain your spells/charges. Most comments I've gotten lead me to believe that ImpIren is already tougher for Mages than for Fighters. The Mages tend to run out of spells early compared to Jon-Bon's unlimited selection -- since he can Pro-MW over and over again, you run out of breaches fast. Nishruus would only exaggerate this difference.

Hmm, what if Imp Irenicus could summon Imp Kitthix?
