** A certain combination of traits[[hottip:*:Runemaster and Artificer]] allows a person to craft items at quarter price and then sell them for half price. That is, you spend 50 mana making a weak sword with listed price of 200, then break it for 100 mana. While it takes time to create a weapon like this and picking those traits cripples your spellcasting ability, it becomes very, very easy to very quickly start making items that cost thousands of mana (which you can do much faster than actually making thousands of mana), which means what little magic you ''can'' cast you can cast ''lots of'' -- and any heroes you get are going to be wearing some very, very nice equipment.
*** Best way to run this is to have five blue picks, which lets all your heroes have no-maintenance un-dispellable Flight, as well as "bastard invisibility" (the AI can still see you, but can't target you with ranged attacks although spells and spell-like powers still work) and Magic Immunity. If you manage to get another couple of blue books during play then things get even sillier. Also, once you have a mana reserve you can put ''all'' your mana production into casting skill and research, especially the former.
