I have trouble with traps. Up till now I've just stoneskinned and walked over them, but I think there must be a better way.
Mirror Image usually works, and Find Traps is a level 2 priest spell

I have trouble with groups of fighters. I've been using stoneskin, magic missle, skull trap and sometimes cromatic orb, but I don't think that strategy will work forever. What should I do?
try to lower to spell casting time to very very low, then you can cast spells almost instantaneously. If the enemy are far away and you have quick spell casting, drop a fireball on them
Also using area affect spells which slow, knock out or web opponant(s) can help you, just make sure you stand on the edge of the area and bombard them with spells.
Spells like colour spray which knock people out (i think after a certain level people are immune to it, not sure) can be helpful if people are whacking at you [img]smile.gif[/img]

I will have trouble with other mages. Which spell protections and removers should I use?
Remove magic works for some, mostly illusion spells etc. Breach is quite a good one, a higher level one is Ruby Ray of Reversal, thats pretty good as well

What am I going to do about those super magic resistant creaturs? Summon fodder 2, stoneskin and lower resistance four times?
careful with selecting spells when levelling. Don't choose spells which will be rubbish later in the game, summoning spells sort of If you need the fodder because enemies are tough, get it, or buy scrolls.
As for super magic resistant creatures *cough*dragons*cough* some have the ability to kill all summoned creatures with a wave of their claw.
