When you reach the fourth circle, it's over with the tension. The spells from circle four and higher are way overpowered.
When I first used Wave of Death to check out it's strength, I wiped out the entire monastery. Irdorath was no match at all, 20 orcs... no problem. Just lure them and started casting Wave of Death. By the time they are near, you are ready casting the spell and kaboom no more orcs.

After the add-on, all that is changed. This is talking with add-on, not without, and there is no way to be "overpowered" with the add-on. You simply don't have enough skillpoints.
The only spell in the game that might be considered overpowered(in the add-on), is Rain of Fire. If you drink a potion of speed, cast Rain of Fire, and run, you can kill anything within half a mile running around with it on(yes, it will stay on while you run, simply killing anything within a certain radius).
But nothing will really make you "uber". With a maxium of 250 mana(about 300-350 if you boost it right) you can cast Holy Missile only 6-7 times before you're out of mana(and Rain of Fire/Wave of Death only twice, with a max of 3 times near the very end). That's enough to kill 2-3 orc elites, not more. I wouldn't say that's "overpowered".
There is a way to be overpowered though, but that is what I like to refer to as an exploit. The spell Summon Demon is still waaaay too powerful. Pop one of these babies and they can kill anything in the game except the final boss. Pop two, and they will kill even him.
If you want a nice, yet not impossible, magerun, try the Summoners way of playing by using mostly summong spells. You will soon realize that they are way better than direct damage spells(as soon as you get Golems and later Demons at least). Quite fun too!  |

Imo there is nothing wrong that you become a walking tank.the mage has certainly earned it.I had lost count how many times i had to lift up my robe and withdraw running like a foolish coward.No one f***s with the chosen of innos, before all not some stupid orc

Exactly! In fact, I miss the old times before the add-on, and might just install it without it once to feel the power yet again - nothing like cruising through tons of orcs feeling that you really ARE the Chosen of Innos. |

There's another one: transform into Dragonsnapper. Very good in chapter 2 in Jharkendar of the VoM. Too bad, there's no rune of it.

Aye, Dragonsnappers have been beefed up so much the transformation scroll is actually a bit out of balance. The snorting dragonsnapper is also completely unkillable at this point unless you use cheap tactics, and getting 30g + 100xp for a quest like that in Chapter 2 after the serious dragonsnapper tweak is crazy, hehe. |
