Yeah, sorcerors suck, but I think Mages are worse. They have this uncanny ability to attack and rub the heck out of your party when you are just thinking, "Wow, I could make it this time!!!" They often get first hit, and if they don't rub, they just LIT2 or something.

(Can you fight frost wolves in Ice Cave? I can't remember. If you can, they suck too.)
