There are a gazillion exploits in this game, and Lord knows I've probably used most of them myself, but bringing down a Dragon with a handful of lowish level Mage spells; spells that for some unknown reason don't cause an enemy to go hostile and go hunting, as the party enjoys a fairly easily-won and over-the-top protection through a ward stone to me is cheesy. It's not the spells per se, it's that the enemy is passive and unmoved while it's defenses are in effect being attacked. If you were to cast those spells in mid-combat, then that's completely fair.

now, it's clear and I tend to agree; however, refer back to the post with the tactics in question, I really don't see it hint on anything about doing something to the dragon while she's not hostile. I myself never go attack anything before it turn red-circled, but I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong, great malison and doom will make enemy turn hostile (I always play with baldurdash fix). anyway, I made my comment because I didn't see from the tactucs the intention of "getting the dragon while she's still blue-circled."
my point is that engaing a battle with the dragon with that spell combination, to me, is no less dignified than say, meleeing to the victory.
btw, among the most rewarding gaming experience of mine was one when taking out the shadow dragon with a lvl 9 party (temple ruin being the second major subquest, after saving the slaves in copper coronet).
