yeah magehorst, i did like your idea very much, but i gave it my own little twist, by adding some more enchantments, as i prefer these over incantantions...
i tried out this build in OCTGN the other day, against a beastmistress..and i really scared her of !
what i think i miss most in this build, are tools to neutrailize creatures : i had to use my tanglevine and a sleep to neutralize her makunda and her cervere, but after that i didn't have anything left...luckily for me, at that moment i was very close to defeat here by charging with the beast and attacking with my elemental wand. I gave the final blow with a hurl meteorite at range 3 !
i'm definitely going to include some nullifies, but i'm also thinking of including a knockdown or two..a cheap way to incapacitate oposing creatures / mages, no ?
