I have decided that the Wild Mage is the most powerful, for two main reasons.

1. Ability to cast level one spells as level 9 spells.

2. When you use wild surge, you usually get a great result (when using chaos/improved chaos shield.
At what point that early in the game will you first off actually get a ninth level spell and secondly when will it be a matter of life and death taking a gamble on a spell that powerful in the beginning?

Alright, Chaos Shield works, but not fullproof enough. Improved Chaos Shield is what, a 7th level spell? So you won't actually have the cards stacked in your favor until maybe the mid of the game. The Wild Mage is a spoof class, it's meant to have fun with, not to be taken seriously. If you take it as a serious class in a heated battle, you will die or be harmed more than helped, I know, even with ICS, I've had my characters petrified before, not a good thing to have happen.

Irenicus: ...
Protagonist: Well sh*t.
