philip, I cannot say for certain whether Mel is buffing herself. I don't specifically remember. I'm assuming that she does.

If you have Keldorn wielding Carsomyr, I'd keep whacking Mel with the HA just to keep any defenses she may cast down.

I like to use some summons against Mel to try to keep *HER* summons busy, while my party concentrates on her as best as possible.

I'm hard pressed to consider using traps "cheating". They are a part of the game. And I'm using them as they're intended to be used, not creating some sort of unintended or cheesey misuse . To each his own.

Another point. IIRC, Mel is immune to Time Stop, so I wouldn't bother trying that.

One thing that I do know about is that Mel *CAN* heal herself. Don't let her, if at all possible. It's hard enough to hurt her without having to do it all over again after a Heal spell.
