How can you prevent a Battlemage...

...from going within melee range after casting her first spell?
I have a battlemage who immediately runs to melee after her first offensive spell. I want her to remain away from melee. She is in passive/defensive mode.
I was thinking that maybe by equipping her with a bow, but in any case... is there another option?

I think your only option is to control the battlemage directly. If you tell her to move after casting the spell, then she'll move to the spot and not attack.

The bow helps, and keep her away. Sad that no rpg uses the BG2 style of control that was effective and simple to implement.

Actually this might help a little, you can use CTRL to queue actions or spells.

Thanks for replies. I actually finished the game with my BM. Had to switch parties and start last chapter again, cause we were dieing a lot. I never tried the bow thing, because wielding some of the available staves gave me much better benefits.
Ended up with my BM, Forgrimm, Traldar and the other mage you free from a cell. Can't remember his name. Actually 2 BMs were quite powerful. Just make sure to have someone who can heal.
