I played a 14th level Transmuter in the last days prior to 4E. I was stupefied by my own capacity in relation to the other PCs. Sure, the warforged fighter could power attack for massive amounts of damage. I could rearrange the entire battlefield and undo several enemies turns with one spell.  I could also one shot anything without Fort as its good save, and even the things with a good Fort save weren't that safe.But, back on topic.
