my mages cast crap spells?

[Sombre]

I get tired of scripting mages - that kind of micromanagement doesn't really appeal much to me (which is fine, since I play SP) and I get what you're talking about. If you research nothing but evocation they're fine, but sometimes when you teach them a new spell that's actually pretty bad, they just go nuts casting that instead.

I think a very simple way to solve the problem (far more simple than allowing us control over AI 'weight' on different spells) would be to allow us to 'ban' or 'forget' certain researched spells - to toggle them on or off. That way you can restrict your unscripted mages to stuff that might actually be useful.

Good idea?
