Sent by PM, but I'll post it here as well.
Thanks for the contest! Was fun, although many of the mages were too obscure for me, or from games I have little to no knowledge of. Most of my 1-pointers came from trawling wikis, walkthroughs and whathaveyous after people had guessed the correct game. :)
Anyway, I think I'll have SWAT3, if it's not too much of a hassle. I had the game as a kid, but by now my disk has gone the way of the dodo. I really liked the game, but didn't get very far, so looking forward to giving it another go.
Again, thanks for the contest. :)

Thank you for a fun contest. Loved the theme.
As for the prize, can it wait a little? I'm waiting for those 25+ EA games, but GOG is taking their sweet time.

The Ishar one would take pretty long. But the Redguard one makes sense.
Well, thanks for the contest, Thiev! I think I will take DodoGeo's choice and wait. The $6 games left in my wishlist are too big for my current backlog =P
Or I might choose one to gift my GF. Well, I'll tell you when it's chosen.
Once again, thank you very much =)

Ah, well - I shall at least be content with having got the one that was initially considered the tricky one. :P

Ah, but I have an excuse. I am playing the 2004 totally unrelated version of The Bard's Tale. I have not played the original trilogy (and I do not have the games either). In fact I got Mangar strictly from googling your hint ("casting everlasting winter spells"). I tried googling for "laying people alive and stealing their skins" and "turning people to stone" but could not find any. So, which one is which?
Overall, great contest, and a tough one, too, at least for me. On top of my head these are the only ones I recognized (and remembered) straight away:
01. Scotia [Lands of Lore]
05. Brona [Shannara]
11. Darm [The Legend of Kyrandia: Hand of Fate]
13. Maximillian Strauss [VtM Bloodlines]
21. Jaffar [Prince of Persia] - nmillar / Zchinque
35. Simon [Simon the Sorcerer 2]
41. Khelben [Eye of Beholder II]
42. Sidi [Return to Krondor]
48. Illius [Demon Stone]
The following (as mentioned above) are those I recognized but could not remember where:
03. Wahargem [5th Disciple]
17. Gamall [Thief 3]
31. Grumznar [Menzoberranzan]
And to follow DodoGeo and Dragobr's example, if you don't mind I will also wait for the right game to come along :-)
Besides, my bandwidth is rather limited right now and may not be able to download other games until next month anyway.
Thanks again for the contest!
