Yes, the hellspikes hurt me but my mage hopped away and I had Spellshield and Aura of Guarding maxed out. and if she blinded me, I ran out of the room.

Hm, never tried life leech on her.

Meteorite Strike 5
Leech Life 5
Lighting 4

how far are you from leveling up, to get one point in survivor curse? This would make things easier.

A last thing: Kroxy sells spells, maybe you're lucky with "polymorph"?
