non-reload or not, mage is simply not that useful in BG1, regardless of how high a level a mage is at. Most of the tougher monsters in the game have extremely low saving throws, and thus most of the time, the spells wouldn't work anyway. handle the less tough monstrers, a good mage might serve well for the party, yet, you don't really need mage to defeat less tough monsters anyway.

based on ability, Edwin is defintely a better choice than Dynaheir since her spellbook is so POOR! yet, as the game goes, Dynaheir is good enough.

actually, Lord, I just finished BG + TOTSC yesterday (now into SoA) with the identical party as yours, the only difference is that my PC is a multi-class Fighter/Mage. I didn't play it as non-reload game, but I think your current party is capable of doing that as long as you're familiar with the game.
