If you ever want to finish it quickly, I recommend giving your mages the Haste spell. It's sustained and increases evasion, attack speed and movement speed, for all the party. You can run as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog and finish the game in like 10 hours less time than what it normally takes. For me that was like 31-33 hours for the Origins campaign.

And even if not for speedruns, it's a very practical spell when combined with an DW Rogue who will backstab more times per second than you can move your eyes per minute. But don't use Momentum + Haste, their attack speed drops heavily for some reason if you do it.

Heroic Defense is obtained right before Haste, and it's an equally, probably more effective spell, heavily increasing defense and % resistance to each element to a target, great for saving one's ass.
