I have a big problems with infinity engine games.

I usually like to play magic user, and always try to have as much of them as possible.

My good aligned team is usually:

My sorcerer
Aerie,
Imoen
Nalia
Jaheira
Valigar (I take him to get my stronghold, and keep him because there is no other good aligned magic user)

My problem is that I rest as little as I can, I hoard every items with charges and don't want to use my spells. What if I use a spell against some monsters on my way to the end of the dungeon, and then find out I would have needed later? What if I use up my wand, and find out I would need it later? So I end up beating all enemies in the dungeon using only melee attack, wich is not very efficient with my party.

I am the kind of guy who play a rpg, but never use items not sold in shop. I could have a one time item who can revive all my party memeber and have 5 party member dead, but would not use it, because I might need it more later, so I end up finished the game with lot of items who would have been usefull in the game, but never got used. As an example, what is the use of a wand of fear when you are at the last battle?
