Most Mind Flayers can actually be killed by Death Spell, or at least, the ones you fight when rescuing Phaere at least. They are annoying because in three moves they can kill you. Intelligence Drain, Stun, then whack you. It seems to be an automatic death...... Real pain.

Death Spell is actually even usefull in Throne of Bhaal, there are a lot of 8 HD or lower monsters in Throne of Bhaal. It seems however, that it only counts for some of the minor fights, can you imagine the final battle, the last one ever, being done by a single Death Spell????

Oh, tactics for mages? In a solo battle, try Immunity: Divination and Shadow Door. Means you can't have any spells cast on you, AND they can't dispel it either!!!

Or try Spell Trap and Immunity: Abjuration. Result, an undispelable Spell Trap. Even "The Ruby Ray Of Reversal" won't work, because that only dispels up to Level 9. The Ruby Ray of Reversal is Alteration, so blasts straight through Immunity: Abjuration.

Hope I helped you, and didn't confuse you................
