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!

Remember your roots!

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

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

No need to waste a third level spell on a petrified person. I think you can break them up with a simple sling bullet
