One very underrated spell is Spell Shield. As far as I know there is only one in SOA in stores. It protects the caster from first magical attack - and at the same time expires. And I haven't met an enemy in Tactics mod that tries 2 attacks. There is a very nasty combo of Spell Shield + SI:Abjuration. Most Liches cast Spellstrike first and after that Remove magic. Spell Shield absorbs Spellstrike and with SI:Abj. you're safe from dispelling (and Imprisonment!).
And it also prevents beholders from dispelling caster's magical defenses.
