I think it took 20 damage to kill her afterwards.

Dunno, what difficulty do you play on? On normal I found that my character could easily Mana Clash most mages to death. Might change on harder though, haven't levelled high enough to earn it on nightmare.

Normal.

I don't know what happened those first two times, I think I've used it half a dozen times since then, and the most health a mage ever had after that was half because he got 3 spells off.

I just need to find some spirit rings and a spirit amulet for Wynne, and a bunch of critical hit armor for me, and then I can basically do what ever I want.

Might have solved your problem: Mana Clash clashes your mana with the enemy's mana, right? So if either you or the enemy mage has little mana, the damage done will be small. I never notice because it's the first thing I do when I walk into a room, might solve your problem though.

The first time I tried it, I don't know how much either of us had. But the second time, at the literal first second of the fight, I paused the game and dropped a mana clash right on top of a blood mage and nothing happened.
