One point to note here - whether or not AC gets calculated past L0, it's worth having the best protective equipment you can because if you get withered, your Dex drops to 1, and having the extra AC capacity from equipment might be the difference between staying alive or getting killed. (And also, re...

Nope - in the DOS version, at least, GRSU summons a Demon Lord some of the time. Can't speak for other versions.

Huh, I always went with the various demons. I could never keep the wind dragon alive long enough for it to be useful, and the unpredictability of the breath attack meant you could never rely on it to kill groups (so you end up having to attack them anyway, and you waste your spells/attacks if the dr...

If you're gonna run the PC version you should def use the fixed version that's floating round these forums - it fixes a lot of the shittiness of the DOS port

You need to have at least three spell levels in each of Conjurer, Magician, Sorceror and Wizard to become an Archmage, and you can't switch back to any of those classes once you've left them. So basically, once you're an Archmage, you're an Archmage for good.
