Advice for Wizards

The wizards last game were doing a lot of nothing, and that's tempting for a low level wizard to do.   My suggestion is that Robert and Marlon have a good long look at the Gear Book.  There are a lot of interesting tools, alchemical substances and so forth that might give the mages some more options.  Oil of course, can be used for fiery death and to make things slippery, there are all kinds of noise-makers that might have their uses.  Look around and come up with schemes and plans.  Wizards are the smart ones, act like it.
