I've had a couple of comments that seem to suggest that other players think that the arch wizard is overpowered. I thought that experienced players would understand the concept of lucky dice rolls having a positive impact on the performance of a hero.

It's very simple. With lucky casting rolls the arch wizard will be far more effective than a conventional magician due to keeping spells after casting them and discarding spells of the players choice instead of the ones that are cast. With unlucky casting rolls the arch wizard will be far less effective than a conventional magician due to failing to cast spells and sometimes having to discard them even though they failed. Most of the time the rolls will be both good and bad, with a combination of being able to keep cast spells, discarding others in their place and losing spells without being able to cast them, making for a balanced and interesting magician.

The chances of the arch wizard casting a spell but not discarding one are ONE IN NINE! There's THREE TIMES as much chance that a spell will fail, I've just been very lucky. I've rolled ten or twelve casting dice and haven't rolled one black shield, which is all that's needed for a spell to fail. The chances of casting a spell without having to discard one twice before failing to cast is ONE IN SIXTEEN!

I hope not, you'd have to do the next quest on your own, we'd be trapped. :) You need to open that door to raise the portcullis and let us through. Better wait for us though.

Have you searched for secret doors? You could search the new corridor this turn and the double one next turn. ;)

I've changed my mind. I won't go to search for traps in the empty room. If there is a secret path, the door will close behind me. So, eot.
