My guess is since casters can be bound anywhere, they'd bind
themselves nearby (in a safe spot), group would fight mob,
caster would unload mana, pre-arranged duel friend would kill
caster, caster would respawn with full mana and join the fight
again.

I suppose a more creative solution would've been to record the
caster's mana at the time when the duel was going on (assuming
no mob hit him/hits no mobs), then return him to that mana
state when he respawns.
