woah! i just finished the planar sphere. you haven't even got your toes wet, yet. it gets a lot rougher, especially as baddie mages go.

i have jaheira the half elf maid *lol*, plus aerie (the wingless one) and anomen (cleric) as my magicians...i took them all out to the solemnic knights and completely redid every dang spell they know and then let them sleep. i beefed the group before each different area encounter with prot from evil, bless, aid and chant and then everything else was dispel magic, silence, feeblemind, command etc.
i also made sure they had their scripts set up. (note: i have
Grog's scripts for cleric, druid, mage, and cleric/mage and i gotta say they are totally rocking! they utilize wands, potions and spells AND they dont run out and go toe to toe with the worst enemy in the area!) you prolly don't have those, so use the wizard disabler script. at least with that one, your casters will be using everything they have to get rid of the baddie mage in question right off the bat.
that quest is a toughie. but it's so much fun. you really have to manage your fights. be careful entering each new area. if you're low on your spells, take everyone back to the solemnic knights and rest.
