Possibly one of the most potent spell combinations I've used recently is Web and Spider Spawn!
Yes that's right. At level 12+ I think, you get sword spiders, who move VERY fast, have good hit dice compared to the other Monster Summoning Spells, and all 3 spider types are IMMUNE to Web! Lay down a couple of webs (which prevent spellcasting, movement, and any attacks!), then cast a few Spider Spawns (hopefully getting two, that is the one downside, chance of getting 2 is 20% as opposed to MS series 40%), and watch the spiders tear the bad guys to pieces! Plus, if your spiders are getting hit or are nearly gone, simply drop a cloudkill/death fog or 2 into the same area that is webbed. Web is really a useful spell, and many wizard (and cleric) spells can be used in different combos which just require some practice and timing, as well as sequencers... Frequently, I see people advocating the use of only high levl spells and neglecting your other spells. Big mistake! Combine Greater malison with 12+ level Chromatic Orb = 7th level Finger of Death Spell, with no hit point requirements! Plus acid damage with no save which means dead trolls stay dead!

I *re*discovered Flame Arrow the other day. I can't believe how powerful it actually is. I've got my roots in BG, so it doesn't get real powerful in that, but at the moment (and provided I don't cast it at dragons - oops ) I can deal more than 40 damage, as an average.
So don't overlook flame arrow ------------------ The meek shall inherit the Earth. But the strong shall reclaim it as their own. |

When you use petrification on someone use flame arrow to break them into little pieces.
