The trick for mage heavy parties (assuming high level mages) is Wish with high intel. and wisdom. Use a spell trigger of Lower Resistances, a Chain Contingency of Abi Dalzims, then maybe an improved alacrity and more abi dalzims, then when it's all done use the Wish to recharge all your spells and rememorize stuff when there's no enemies around. Traps should work for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th melissan battles as well.
However, for a virtually thiefless, tankless, and high level mage-less party, i don't have any advice. Aside from playing a full game of SOA, doing all the side quests, and continuing on to TOB, in which case the party will have high level mages.
