Before Combat Casdor begins combat by casting repulsion on herself, followed by haste on her first round in the initiative order unless someone has earned her ire; in those cases she uses quickened magic to cast an acidic spray and chain lightning in the same round.

During Combat Though not untalented with her shortspear, Casdor prefers to utilize magic against her enemies, staying at range. When opponents close the distance to melee she casts greater invisibility followed by stoneskin, then a greater dispel magic on the most dangerous foe before using spell combat to deadly effect.

Morale If an artifact or valuable piece of technology is at stake, Casdor escapes using teleport when reduced to 40 hp or less.
