My first question is should mana clash have been a mage spell?  To me it seems overpowered for a mage and makes a duel of mages in Thedas consist of who can cast mana clash the fastest.  I see it like an old west drawing guns duel. 

My second question is should the Holy Smite's effect have been the mana clash effect?  Templars are suppose to be feared by the mages and should be very capable of striking them down.  However in the game, my mages can spit on the boots of a templar and not worry too much about that wannabe mage killer killing them.  But if the holy smite ability was like mana clash it'd be a whole different ballgame.  Templar fights in the circle would have been very difficult to keep a mage alive and knockdown and control tactics involving the whole party would have to have been utilized.  

I wonder what others think.

The circle tower was tough enough for my arcane warrior without them having access to a more powerful holy smite. Damn bastards kept spamming cleanse area, which removed all of my arcane warrior's buffs, and every fight with them was quite epic, especially since you usually fight 4 or 5 of them at once.

I'm not sure holy smite needed to be more powerful. Templars can also become completely immune to hostile magic with the right gear, and being able to kill enemy mages in one shot would be a bit too much. Holy smite is also useful for its aoe stun effect. My templar wardens used it often, and makes a nice 1,2 punch with warcry.

Mana clash is quite powerful. The only defense against it is to either have anti-magic ward up or have several sustained abilities up so your health is greater than your mana. Normally, my mages avoid getting mana clash due to it being "cheap", though I did pick it up during my arcane warrior playthrough since he wasn't traveling with a full party for backup.

I don't know. Mana clash never seems to bother me. My Arcane Warrior just uses the spells that immobilize the enemy mages/templars till my sword/axe kills them. I've never used mana clash myself either.

Hm I personally like Mana Clash.

OP on which diffyculty did you play?
On easy the Templars dont you Holy Smite but on Normal or higher they kinda spam it :/ As I ran with my Mage (lvl10) through the Tower they kinda HATED me all along. I mean there were always 3-5 of them. And whjen I met them I was dead in an Instance or nearly dieing on the floor. Couldnt do a thing. I just let my mage doesnt participate in the fight
