Contingencies and Sequencers are key as they allow you to store loads of defensive spells and Nishrus to drain Irenicus magic. You *should* save your "prepared for anything" wish and any Chain Contingency scrolls for the last two battles with Irenicus. Have you ever stopped and read how many sequencers and Contingencies Irenicus has? He auto casts something like 20 defensive spells as the battle starts. The only way to match that is to have mad resistences, or similar tricks of your own.

Once you finally win the game you'll see that the difference between easily winning and sorely losing these two battles is actually fairly small. If you set up a defensive contingency and then memorize mostly offense, summons, and breaching spells it is just a matter clicking fast enough.

Of course this is all assuming a "sufficiently experienced" Mage.
