I think part of his problem is that the mages aren't casting flaming arrows despite being scripted to cast it. I can't think of any way to *force* them to do so.

Placing them closer will stop them from summoning elementals, at least for awhile. But they'll either blow their gems on other things or start summoning elementals once the enemy has retreated out of their range (when those elementals will do absolutely no good).

It certainly isn't hard to imagine more sensible mage AI. But without direct access to the code none of us can do anything about that except whine.
