I did a friendly duel with my level 21 warrior against a level 21 enchanter.
She didn't use charm (with charm it would have been no contest) but all her
other spells. She ran out of mana before I ran out of hit points. I am
going to try a wizard here sometime this week and see the results. I was
expecting to be fried by the enchanter, but she yielded twice. I expect to
be fried by the wizard too. I'll let you know the results when I am done :)
