So I was just having some fun building a fire wizard, because I never see them played, and this is what I came up with.  I have not tested this out yet so I'm not sure how viable it is but it seems like a pretty fun concept!

I wanted to throw the angel slayer in but he is too expensive, at least for this.  and the fire elemental is not in here because everyone runs 1-2 urging waves and the occasional force hammer :b

The only thing I think I really want to add at some point will be healing spells, at least a minor heal and a mend or something to that effect?

Burn em to death :)

Looks strong - few thing i would add/remove.

I might add a crumble or change it for a dissolve.

Don´t like "spot blockers" like you have 3 rings, 2 different boots and 2 cloaks. Would remove Enchanters ring as you have few enchantments.

Id like to celebrate the cheap Battle Forge and bring and extra - maybe have a brave forward one first to draw surging waves/Force Hammer :)

Akiros Favor + Elemental Wand for better offence.

Slightly better healing than the Ironvine. Mend on a wand might be good with high armor and voltaric shield. Heal or Minor Heal would not be bad choices. I think i would bring to Regrowth Belts and a Mend or 2 - others would go Veteran Belt + Regrowths. You already suggested something like this yourself.

Maybe a bit thin on conjurations? Hand of Bim-Shalla and a few Tanglevines?.

Mana Vampirism seems a bit odd. Who is going to melee?

A few curses would be "nice" and thinking about curses a Purify.

Here is my fire wizard with some updates.  Biblofilter, good catch with the "spot blockers." I went through staple cards that I figured I should have, then went in later and added more spells from academy and other equipment I thought would be useful and never caught the overlap.  As far as mana vampirism, i figured throwing that on the gargoyle since he would be the guard but he is best for intercepting and idk how much i would use that when they are up close as opposed to a different spell.  I also took out circle of fire...not sure if this will make it back in or not?

but i took out ironvine, dispel, 2flameblast, circle of fire, mana vamp, ignite, combustion, leather boots, supression cloak and added 2mend, crumble, purify, eley wand, bf, akiro's favor, regrowth belt

I would love to add a mage bane or 2 but i think that would better be suited for a gate of voltari book - they take damage and you gain mana for each spell they cast  :D
the only thing i see being very difficult is keeping huginn alive  :P

all in all this was made for fun and i am happy with it for now and hope to see some fun play with it.

How does the book play against a Warlock with many Flame Immune or Flame -2 creatures? Do you have a back-up plan?

How do you propose to open?

This looks somewhat similar to my Fire Wizard... I'll have to compare my book with yours and see what the differences are. I know I took two Gargoyles only for creatures.
