look at triggers, triggers can only store level six and lower. no really great mage spells at level 6 or lower, but a cleric mage can store bolts of glory and flame strike. both are superb spells, bolts of glory seems to bypass magic resist, I've taken down drow preistesses to 80% health.
chains, triple abu dahzim is great for offensive strategy, but a cleric mage can set up at 50% heath to cast greater restore, draw on holy might and abu dazim for offensive and defensive effect. if you cheat, and give natures beauty, you got a nasty bugger.
so the ultimate char is a souped up cleric fighter mage!!!
create half elf triple class, then using sk, add use any item, and apply the kensai kit. add the spells creeping doom, natures beauty and greater elemental summon.
level up t 40 in all classes, xp cap remover, then convert the kit to conjuror. you keep the thaco and kai bonuses, but also now have the extra spells of a specialist mage. the conjuror misses the important dispell magic and true sight, surprise, you have them as a priest....
clua in edwins family amulet, you have a spell caster with all of edwins spells, but also tapped into priest spells..
and a kensai to boot...
I have discovered that with spell triggers and chains, (what, nothing about spell sequencer or contingency? good spells, but worth maybe one slot, sicne you load up for really tough battles, I usually use chains as mini timestop.)
but when you chain or trigger some spells together, you have to learn ne rules. for example, you cannot cast greater restore in a chain targetted at hostiles, cast at nearest enemy. you get aspell failure if you have it not work the way intended, like setting target caster at target enemy chain. sometimes even canonical spells fail, I think due to level of caster, as immie fails often, but my sorc just about never. mixing clerical spells in a trigger seems to cause many fails.
