I recently returned to Everquest as a mage after a 20-year hiatus and have successfully automated certain aspects of my gameplay with a 1200-line Lua script. Although my script is unsophisticated, it can be beneficial to those who are interested. It assumes a 120 mage and is intended for single mob kills rather than entire camps. To execute, I use the hotbutton "/lua run magekill." Once the mob is dead (or you switch targets) the script ends.
Please note that the script only provides a programmer's interface, which requires flag editing to exclude auto-attack or auto-approach during raids. If you have any constructive criticism or suggestions, I welcome your feedback. Crafting my script has been an enjoyable experience for me.
I personally use this all the time with a hot button that has two lines:
Also, it assumes your spell weave is the first 5 gems, what I use is:
After the fight, it reapplies some buffs and summons missing clickies. It assumes that you have my setup and my gear. Again the programmers interface, so when I upgrade my gear, I edit the code. So this might only be useful (or even playable) for the Lua coders out there.
Macroquest has significantly enhanced the fun and excitement of Everquest. As a bonus, I can now code and slay dragons simultaneously. How amazing is that!

/lua run MageKill
I don't have any other scripts to run, so that works fine, but you likely want to let your other scripts run, so it might not work for you.Also, it assumes your spell weave is the first 5 gems, what I use is:
- Roiling Servant
- Barrage of Many
- Chaotic Calamity
- Spear of Molten Luclinite
- Spear of Molten Komatite
