I am curently playing on a server that got buffed spells, so spellcasters can stand against the monsters on the server. Suddenly IGMS does 480 damage when maxed out Not to mention that fireballs does 40d6. But it only does 40d6 when you are lvl 40.

That is a harsh blow from one spell.

I think many people overlook the power of these spells. Both of these spells in effect immobalize your enemy. Cast on a non-spell casting enemy basically disables the enemy from causing any damage. Once this happens you can use either a bunch of low level direct damage spells or with a ranged weapon. This strategy works especially well if your character has a stealth score. While hidden you can target your enemys, then by the time they can see you they are powerless and you can go to work on them.
I've been able to knockout about half a dozen enemies before I even get hit. Furthermore, in conjunction with Time Stop & Automatic Quicken Spell III, you can really immobalize a ton of enemies before they even know what hit 'em.
Note: some enemies can still hurt you with non-ranged weapons if you get real close to them. So you can't just cast Grasping Hand and think you can go and hack 'em up with a greatsword or Double Axe.
