Yea might be better, but if we're talking about 200m all skills (which we are supposed to here lol) then it's not worth it since you already get maxed magic from mining/smithing. Maybe a little leftover but oh well. Teleports and what not make up for that. (Or barraging lobs for leftover charms you'd need). And you do not get all 200m melee skills (assuming you do not nolife the cave crawlers for 2000 hours for rc). So you'd be missing out on exp. As for green, maybe she likes the look of the mage spells haha, they look cool. Especially in comparison to melee attacks. But ofcourse, when not going for 200m all skills, it'll be worth it.
