[QUOTE="Walknot, post: 4503443, member: 73405"] Does feel that way playing the game. On the other hand, if you want some of that old-time magic thrown in? Used to be, your mage was hands above the most spectacular character to play at high levels. Not the most damaging overall, or the best, but just the most spectacular. Or maybe your cleric. But if remarkable and compelling magic is an exception in 4e, and lies outside the ruleset, still there is no reason why you can't do it. Add some rituals that do allow the whole party to invis and sneak around, if that's what you want. Better yet, go all out. Have your mage be "the chosen one" a conduit of the primal magical forces. She doesn't know it yet, but she is sent to fulfill a historic destiny. Use that as a story hook, and allow periodic magical events centered on your mage to move the story along. Her amazing magical spells etc... can be the impetus for all manner of encounters including combats and skill challenges. There are lots of possibilities; where rules don't know, let your imagination flow. [/QUOTE]
