What is your opinion of specialist mages with ToTL installed?

Do the opposing schools make the benefit of an extra spell per level not worth it?

I was thinking of playing with an Illusionist and a Bard as a backup spellcaster. The idea is that the Illusionist can memorize all 9th level spells in this game, while a Bard can learn any spell up to 8th level to cover the Abjuration (Dispel Magic) and Necromancy (Skull Trap, Horrid Wilting) spells my main Mage would miss out on.

Specialist mages are great if you have more than one mage. To me, Identify and Skulltrap are a must. Personally I did a fighter/mage and a conjurer.

I never specialise my mage, because I usually play with a party that has only one mage. ANd I do not want to lose a whole bunch of spells just to gain few extra spells...
