Ok, I have what I feel is a better mage, this is how it's done, properly...
Level up a Mage to say level 3, remove all his spells, then go to the level tab and without using the Level up Wizard, give the wizard as many levels as you want them to have as a caster, now go back to the Spells Tab and manually give them the spells you want them casting... (If you give a NPC or Monster too many feats, this will bug them bad..)
Next, set these Variables on the Monster / NPC to control how they act...
Variable = What it does.. (Variables are set as Integers not strings!)
X2_L_BEH_OFFENSE = Chance of Peforming an Offensive Action (0 (never) to 100 / 100 = all the time)
(This more or less controls how often they cast a defensive spell or summons or a Hostile Spell)
(40 would mean more defensive casting, where 70 would mean more offensive casting)
X2_SPELL_RANDOM = Set that they randomly pick spells (not in order) (Set to TRUE or 1)
(This can make them do bizzare actions, like cast a Horrid Wilting first followed by a buff spell)
(Which can be good for the PCs, giving them time to recover from pain..
'>)
X2_L_BEH_MAGIC = Determines what % you want them casting magic..
So if you set it to 80, then they will use spells 80% of the time, and attack too
100 = Use Spells ONLY!
This will produce a very highly desirable caster, now you can also give them Haste & Quicken Spell 1/2/3 to make them a super mage!
I'm going to be tweaking monsters over the next few months, comming up with better monsters, overall..
Here are all of the other options you have for ALL Monsters / NPCs...
Simply set the variable on the monster/npc (variables use Parentheses "" )

This is a template for Custom AI...
You have to set the variable X2_SPECIAL_COMBAT_AI_SCRIPT on the NPC / Monster for this script.
