^ Then mages need a form of armor/hp. That's why I suggested Energy Shield, with a Warmth-like skill to regenerate the mana quickly between battles.
No single initiative will solve the problem, because a single fix would be unbalanced in some other way - sort of like dropping a huge weight on the other side of the scale. Instead, the fix should be undertaken carefully, with several small initiatives that, when combined, balance out the Mage, but only if used correctly.
Eg Energy Shield + Warmth + interrupt chance based on mana consumed/level spell was gained.
Little initiatives that, by themselves, aren't unbalanced and don't solve the problem.
(i'm surprised nobody had a go at me for my utter naievety!)
