Maybe that had something to do with the fact that he didn't have the 'Lower Resistance' or 'Project image' spells.
a mage can be cheesy with project image...however its the sorceror's ability to cast many spells...you see, certain spells get more and more powerful the more times you can cast them in the same battle...like lower resistance, and animate dead...a mage always has to preplan his spell tables, and choose the spells he thinks he's going to use in the next battle, and almost always tries to give himself a more flexable spell selection, so he's ready for unforseen events...so he's not going to have, usually more than one lower resistance, and one animate dead or spook spell....but a sorceror will always have several casts of each of these spells, and by putting them in spell triggers or sequencers, you vastly magnify their power...a spell sequenced spook makes dragon hunting dead easy...a triggered lower resistance, and dead dragon...a project image supercheese, like summoning 5 planetars must be planned out by a mage in advance, a sorceror is always ready to do it anytime he/she wants...

mages can do cheese...with planning and rest...but a sorceror is always ready to be cheesy...

in fact, the cheese guide was written for parties with a pc sorceror...
