Is that it?
Also is PRAI just the same as PRATI without the Time Stop?
You got everything right more or less. A is for the Amulet of Power.

I use these techniques for all my Mages. It literally rains Hell on the enemies. A Mage uses it to great effect, a Sorcerer takes it to a whole new level.

The spell you are thinking of is Improved Mantle, which protects from any weapon +3 enchanted or less.
wrong. (BTW i know i'm late to post but i can't let innocent minds get corrupted by this false info )

Mantle=immune to +3 or less
Imp mantle=immune to +4 or less
total invunerability=immune to +5 or less
Prot from magical weopons=immune to magical weapons.

So dundee you were wrong about the mantles and so. (how could you ever have soloed this game )

Hey guys, everybody, look here! Dundee Slaytern is WRONG! What a rare event!

Sorry, Dundee...

A bit offtopic, but... Can anybody give me a list of good mid-level offensive/damaging spells for a solo mage from SoA only? FoD is too high-lvl-ish for me still..

And, Lucifer Lord of demons is also mistaken The spell's name which protects from weapons of +5 or less enchantment is called Absolute Immunity, not Total [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I only got Absolute Immunity wrong. Carsomyr can be upgraded to +6 nevertheless.

On a side note. I am not amused by the apparent sport that is called "Point out Dundee's mistakes and laugh". Just something I wish to get off my chest. I do acknowledge mistakes, and learn from them, but please let me know in a more constructive way.

OK, Dundee, that was just a joke, which is not going to happen again. You know, you've got an aura of an absolute expert, the one who is always right, and you deserve it. All I wanted to say is that was a rare, very rare event that you are mistaken.

Sorry

My own little note on the PRATI tactic:

My manual says (it's the beta-version manual, so there may be mistakes; for instance, it doesn't mention the Petrify or Finger of Death effects of Chromatic Orb) that Spell Trap (Level 9, Abjuration) absorbs spells aimed directly at the caster, and restores the equivalent spell value that the caster had previously used. So, would not the height of munchkin-ness be to cast Spell Trap, then Project Image, and have the Image fire a 9th-level spell and a 7th-level (or higher) spell back at the real you? Infinite Timestops, without even casting Wish!

No.....just incredibly munchkin. But then, a lot of spells, such as Project Image and Wish (not to mention those ridiculous Traps), are munchkin all by themselves, and the designers must have known people were going to think up combos like this. It can't even be called cheesy [bug-abusing] if BioWare knew it was going to happen all along.
