/warning semi serious hyperbole
do you really want a game where a totally oblivious player walks his tightly spaced party into a heavily indicated powerful boss and still comes away with it?
I want a chance of walking away with it even if you're not aware of the encounter, certainly not insta death on the first turn and the massive patching up of her resistance hole if you survive past that. At the very least I expect her to have to leech source from you (warning that she's about to cast a powerful spell) and then on the next turn cast it. If I have a highly defensive level 15 party equipped with shields and, say, 40% resistances across the board on each player (leadership) I would not expect to be wiped with the initial cast, which is exactly what
has happened. It is in no way fair to make a normal spell like fireball which doesn't require source OP.
