Starting a D&D game at mid-level

[Misereor]

Fireball by volume. Lightning bolt into water. Haste wins a fight if you dare to cast it. Gods, I loved the challenge of playing casters sometimes.

Casting infinite wishes by Magic Jar'ing random badguys to take the drain. Save or die spells. Save or die next round spells. Don't get a save and still die next round spells. Having to rest 8 hours after casting Identify. Getting hit in the face by your own Lightning Bolt. Ahh, the memories... :)
