I'm not meaning to flame you Nepenthe. All I'm saying is that perhaps beating these things isn't as simple as you make it out to be. Or maybe I'm a bit dumber than the CF populace on average. Whatever it is, I (as an empowered player) fought as hard as I could against one single spell of a non empowered player and died.
Alas, alack!
