these spells make PLing mages a snap!
Take a chanter, pull everything you can find (use tash), put on some DS's (i use Feedback and Kilva's Skin of Flame, they stack. Plus i use some +ds items for 11 more damage.) run em back to the mage, chain stun, have the mage get near you and ae the things, then you sit down. They'll attack you, chew through your runes, but they'll be taking (in my case) 57 points of damage every time they hit. In lower levels, thats a lot of damage =)
