When you get tired of this, try running to the non-non-magic square
and use burning hands instead. Quicker, uses less mana, adds some
exitement.

Or, again, more efficiently, with frostbolt.

You seem to be one of those "blast'emtohellandbacksowe'resurethey'redead"-
mages. Try adding a little finesse, will you? What about all the mana
wasted trying to destroy the wall if you use large fireball? Did you
ever think about the fact that 3/4 of your mana is wasted?

And as for using icestorm to kill off a single, trapped dragon - rrright.

PS: For some REAL exitement in the 0.90.5 maps, check out what we like to
refer to around here as "the mountain". Artifacts included.
