It would be awesome if the 'hooks' could be set up differently for each type of mage in the game, so that each mage would bring something different to the table depending on what has been researched.
For example assuming both paralyze and soul slay are researched, set it up so that guru's of kailasa etc prefer to cast paralyze while the illithids of r'lyeh prefer to cast soul slay.
Complicated and probably not going to happen but it would be fun.
