BTW are there any good anti mage spells?

Spells with high (battlefield is good) AOE are excellent against most mages, since most mages have less than 15 health or so. Wither bones is particularily nasty. Against mindless summons, spells like soul slay will often work well. Nether Darts might work, if you can fire them at the mages (a big if) since they feeblemind and do decent damage. Heat from Hell and Grip of winter do fatigue and lethal damage, though slowly, so if you're playing Caelum, Jotun or Abysia, you could try that... you could try master enslave / undead mastery / arcane domination in late game, against a mage army, capturing even one or two mages would be worth it. Howl and Mists of deception, since they bring units on from behind the enemy might be worth a shot. Touch of madness would be awesome, except that I think mages will only cast it on friendlies. Soul Drain will work, but it's kinda overkill. Wrathfull skies, since it's battlefield AOE, and does enough damage to kill, as does fire storm. Call Horror maybe? and just hope it goes in the right direction...
Considering you started this thread by asking about farstrike, though, I'm guessing you were looking for low level spells, of which few seem particularly mage killing, though a couple of these might be worth a shot.
NB: I made this list by going through the spell list, so I haven't tried them all.
