Ok, im on the last guy for the seven, the elf quest. Im at the boss with like 10 dwarfs around her. ITS IMpossible as a mage:(. Ok I have 200 life and 60 more with shield, and they kill me in 3 seconds. I cast dreadknight and skeleton wall and those are gone even faster....I cast elemental hail tons, but i always die before they do. I have lvl 1 freeze, which does no good against 10 dwargfs and a boss. Plz help someone(raze, if possible:) )

Do you have Curse? A few casts of that before switching the Elemental Hail will make the attack much more effective. You can drink a shadow potion if Josephine casts Blind on you, to wait for it to wear off. Area effect spells that do not require a target (Hell Spikes, Elemental Hail...) may not turn you visible (don't know, never tried), but even if they do, they will work when you are blind. Blind / Hell Spikes works well against Josephine, if you get her first, or survive until her spell wears off.

If you have a spare skill point, level 1 of the survivor's Deadly Gift combined with a couple scorpion traps would make it an easy fight. You can run up the ladder after releasing them...

I take it not much of your equipment has a vitality bonus? Even as a warrior with only a single stat point put into intelligence, towards the end of the game I had over 500 magic points from equipment bonuses. Do you have lots of spare charm slots? A couple silver charms (bought from Kistandalius or Blake in Ars Magicana and Corinna or Mpenzak in Verdistis) would add 80 (IIRC) vitality each. You may want to just use pause and a lot of restoration potions, since gold charms can be bought in the wastelands.

Thx for the help, I thought of using the scorpions, but I put the point into lvl 1 freeze, because I didnt know there was going to be 234234 dwarfs killing me to. Its such a small area you cant run and cast, and theyre just as fast as you. Im only lvl 27, and ive done most of the quests and faught a lot of stuff:\. I guess ill run around the dark forest a min and kill left over monsters to level and get scorpions.

Mages kind of suck in this game compared to others, mana doesnt even regenerate. So I have to keep going back and forth. While with a warrior I can just get life and mana leech and non stop slaughter.

i was a mage, and i beat her with about 200 restorations and constant casting of elemental hail. it took a while, but if you keep a close eye on your health, it works. and if you have enough potions. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

i used a few scorpions. to live long enough to release them i imidiatly took a super shadow potion, they walk away when you disapear. this gave me the time to release the scorps and scamper up the ladder. i then just waited and collected the points. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
