The power level is not the same, because getting to Archmage level 7 is a lot harder than getting to Wizard level 1. The fact that FOFO and NILA do the same damage - range notwithstanding - is ridiculous.
I suppose you mutilated MAMA as well?

And another thing - Garth vanishes from the party when we leave the dungeon??
Meaning we have to pick him up every time we want to return to the dungeon.

Yes, MAMA do 18-72 damage. I think you're right. An update is needed. NILA maybe 40-120 damage and MAMA 60-140? Would be better. An archmage should be a bit more powerful.
And another thing - Garth vanishes from the party when we leave the dungeon??
Right! Due to his magical connection to the dungeon, he can not leave...

Just....leave the spells' damage tables alone maybe? Undo the nerfs you did to them...
Anyways....
I presume the entire point of the Cellar/Tomb was to acquire Lightbringer?

Only partly. After finishing the tomb, you should have enough hints to find the entrance of the temple (next dungeon). Let me know if you need some help because this is a bit difficult.

I found a weird tavern place called McFly. I presume this is it?

"eates" should be "eats"...

And as usual, the hints are insufficient.
I cannot find this stupid goblin tavern.

No, McFlys is just for low level adventurers to get some hit points back...

Tastes like Baskin Robbins, only not.
So in the temple, the magic mouth at 12N, 9E says "here long", it should say "here a long"; i.e. the letter "a" is missing.

The clue at 2N, 19E is missing a period / full stop.

The Sword of Zar would like a word with the so-called "greatest sword in the world". Doing 55 damage is hardly fantastic.

Also, your overuse of darkness zones is making mapping a bit of a headache.
Consider reducing the amount of them, or if possible creating a one-use item called "Shadowbane Torch" or something that casts MAFL and ignores the darkness flag.
I mean, really.

The fight with the temple priest and his followers at 16N, 9E on level 1 has a few errors in it.
- "advances" should simply be "advance"
- The comma after "Intruders" should be an exclamation point, with the following word "kill" being "Kill" (as written, it sounds like he's commanding the intruders to "kill them all")
- There is a period / full stop missing after "he shouts"
Also, the "I think you're in trouble!" line is overused; you could switch it up to something different, couldn't you?

So you did it into the temple. I thought this would be very difficult to go in?

Thanks again for all the corrections! I made more failures in english grammar than in programming some new code... A big challenge!

The balancing is very difficult. More than 90% of the monsters have below 100 hit points. I didn't want that 500 damage thing like in BT2. So I reduced the monster hit points and the weapon/ spell damage (more as in BT1). But I think the 'normal' fights are not that hard, right?
