I'm with you there, Midget Gems--"Conjurer is best because Divination sucks." Not that Divination sucks, it's just there are so many other methods of Divination.

But I still think Xzar is the 2nd best in the game, because I don't 'waste' Illusion spells on protecting Mages who aren't going to get shot at anyway. And Magic Missile is good, but I'd rather be able to use a Wand of Frost and Identify. Personally, I don't think Mages using their Opposition Wands is cheesy--that's why they're there. Why would the game's plot lead you toward taking a Mage who can't Summon anything if she couldn't use a Summoning Wand?

Oh, and P.S.: In BG2, Specialist Mages can't put their Opposition scrolls in their Quick Slots. Sorry. (At least, I'm pretty sure about that.)
