I can't comment much on the books... but I finally remembered the mages I forgot to mention...
Jehlak (or whatever his name is, the super-powerful mage from The Colors of Chaos by L.E. Modesitt) - he had enough power to destroy large cities and raise a small mountain range. Fancy...
Someone else... forgot again... and, my personal pick...
Durlok (cackle... a Black Mage from Voyage of the Fox Rider by Dennis L. McKiernan) - eh... ok, putting this in spoiler format, since it might ruin part of the book... I'll just say (other than the spoiler) that he's INSANELY powerful... (!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Alrighty, then... Durlok had enough power to first defeat the combined power of most of the mages in the world, all at one time. Now, considering how magic works in McKiernan's books (it uses life energy, although mages can do a fancy version of resting to regain lost life energy), and since after all those mages were done trying to stop him, they were all very old, and all the power was wielded and targetted by one person... that by itself is pretty fancy. Then, after doing that, he smashed a continent. I don't meen destroyed the cities, or burned everything, or whatever. He did something or other smashy and it sort of broke and then sank under the ocean. Pretty powerful, I'd say. Let's see Elminster do that... oh, and did I mention that mages there are immortal unless they're killed by someone? *grin* *cackle*

There we go, then... hmm... personally, I'd guess that at the height of his power Durlok could probably defeat at least two of the other mages at one time... *cackle* *grin* *tip*
