So, I think there is a big difference here. I have played through the game many times, less than a third of which have been as a mage. You have ... never played as a mage at all? I don't really think you can use your own inexperience as somehow adding weight to your opinion. Sorry if that comes off as rough, but as someone who prefers warrior or Paladin, this pejorative comment followed by your admission of limited experience ticks me off.
Also, if you FEAR a stack, it prevents the enemy from casting a spell on the turn of that stack (even if they have someone to attack). This is 'locked down'. Unless you are phantoming dryads, ogres, or something else that can somehow negate a stacks turn, you are not 'locking it down'. I have used phantom a lot, especially as a warrior. I have used fear a lot, especially as a mage. I have used target and timeback and stone skin all a lot, as ANY class. Therefore I think of them as more universally better spells.
