And scrolls for whatever...an antimagic scroll +use any item +carsomyr will make the toughest battle mage cry for his/her mommy. And you can always run away. No problem, since thieves aren't fighters. Or you can lay a mess of traps, taunt the opposition, and run away. The coward who runs away and returns to dance over an opponent's corpse is nobody's fool.
I am compelled to reply to this portion of the post. If you are playing against the computer Mages, then yes, you can pretty much screw them up since there is a limit to the AI. It is a different story against human-controlled Mages however.
