Hey! Long time no see! I was playing through the newest version after being away from the game for a while, and I managed to get through it in one shot. Here's my character dump:
Character Dump for MageGuild version 1.2.0.0
Selene - Level 14 - Winner!
Final Score: 7397
Turns: 11561
HP: 36/36
MP: 104/104
Schools: Elemental, Light
Spells: Lightning Bolt
Fire Wall
Fireball
Armor
Heal
Edges: Enhanced Power (4)
Contingency (2, 1 used)
Elemental Attunement
Pretty straightforward character built around blowing things up.
Lightning bolt felt really weak to me this time around. I found myself using staff shots instead of it a lot of the time, despite taking no edges for those. Maybe it could use another point of damage or a better chance to paralyze? But then again, I did clear the game in one shot with that build, so I dunno. Fire Wall and Fireball were both great, but fire monsters were a problem.
Speaking of fire monsters - Sateja's level. Those flame djinns at the beginning were my worst nightmare. There's nothing in all of Mage Guild I hate and fear more than those demons, and I start in a crowd of four of them?! I had never been there before, so that wasn't a nice surprise. Anyway, I got through the final stage by keeping the armor spell active at all times (that's really an incredibly good effect for 1 point of mp) and I also had prepared a large supply of potions of final death in advance, so that was fortunate.
Despite the challenges of her level, Sateja herself put up no fight whatsoever.

Still busy as all hell trying to get the tutorials and whatnot for the editor/new release ready.
