If have AIM Tshern, I could do some rolls for you on there.
I do have AIM, but unfortunately with an altered name, I had to pick something similar to my normal handle and I found something that almost satisfied me. Contact Tshernobog if you wish.
How are you detecting the possible auras of the spellcaster? With Spellcraft I assume you mean the DC 20+spell level check that allows you to detect spells that are present, but you must be able to see their effects.. I'll let you know more once I get an answer for this.
And Ink is very close to you, so you don't even need a check, he is alive and well.
And I agree, stabbing it is somewhat primitive. Like living in a third world country or something.
Edit: I modified my post back in the game thread. AC, you lost Divine power and Superior resistance.
