    The answer to part 2 is in the Umar hills. You need to talk to a guy who is selling some books. NOT the book merchant. Buy the history of the Zentarim. A dialogue will start and you need to say his name: Darcin Cole. He will the ask you to fetch the blood of a silver dragon. This you can get it the underdark, if you don't mind being a thouroughly evil bastard. Soz. Anyway he will then finish up the armour for you after you leave the underdark.
    Never played a mage so I don't know the answer to part 1.

    Nope, you need the blood of a silver dragon. Nothing else will do. Unfortunately to get this you have to kill the silver dragon (apparently she's not into donating her blood to a worthy cause) and this isn't an easy fight by any stretch of the imagination. The armour you get is the best in SOA for a thief although I've heard it doesn't look very impressive - it's pink after all and what kind of chaotic evil thief is going to parade around in *pink* armour?

    The items you can forge in the Planar Sphere are listed when you speak to the apprentices. One is a dagger, another a staff and I forget the third one. The staff is pretty decent (though not a patch on the Staff of the Magi you get from the Twisted Rune) but the rest aren't up to much.

    There's a chance of death with every item, though choosing the easiest one each time is the way to go. If they all live they will give the best experience reward at the end.

    I do remember that choosing to make anything the last time (when they ask about the Staff of Power) will result in death to at least one, so don't do that.

    I seem to recall that if they mention a specific number of days when telling you how long it will be before the item is finished, at least one will die, so reload if you hear that. It may be the other way around however.

    Killing the silver dragon is annoying since you get 56000XP split between the characters rather than 78500 or thereabouts each for helping her.

    the ring of wiardry is well worth it, try to get your apprentices to make that one.....save before each experiment though to avoid their deaths.

    the ring of wizardry and the ring of acuity (ring of acuity is on lazar when you bring him out of the planar sphere) is the perfect choice for a mage......if you dont play with certain mods that is hehe

    The robe gives you AC 3, which you might like if you want to wear something other than bracers of defense.

    As far as reloading until you get the answer you want, I suspect that qualifies as "cheese." At that point, you might as well just CLUA the item you want.
