What can I do next time I face mages with horor/panic?
The best way fight mages is prevent them from casting any spells. magic Missiles are the best way to acomplish this. Dynaheir with this Ring that doubles Lvl 1 spells has 8-10 magic missiles to cast. Enough, to hinder almost every mage from casting. The next best method is to fire with one or 2 achers on the mage.

As for silence, the target has a saving throw, IIRC. Thus, if it doesn'w work the first time, just try another one.
