These are quite interesting, and I'm glad to see more interest in the thread.

Any further details on the Red Wizards, specifically? The name has me thinking of the ones from D&D, but I've been mistaken about things like that on occasion.

And don't forget to buy Blocking Spell Mastery (Blink) so that you can Blink multiple times per turn!
High spell skill-levels are indeed scary, but yeah, Blink is an especially threatening Blocking spell. A specialist with Blink at 20 can cast it at no cost. Add a decent level of one or more combat skills and you have someone that's a nightmare in battle, even if they aren't terribly good at any other spells.
