If you consider this cheating ignore this post. Since finding a purifying spring on level 1 is only a matter of time let me make it a bit easier for you. Set the year on your computer to 2039 and then start diablo. Remember, even if that's not cheating if you die and start a new game with the same year it isn't a fair way to IM.

I just lost a solo ironman mage (that I started because of this thread) because he failed to find a book of healing, only found a few reds and heal scrolls, and got archers on level 2. He had a belt of blues left and a res scroll, but when the archers got him, what's the use? Restart in town, burn the res scroll, and go back down with 1 life?
Yep. Mages are hard to solo because at first they need some luck, and more than just a purifying spring. But with the spring, a decent fire and lightning spell, mana shield and maybe a level two or above stone curse, they should be almost unstoppable. Of course, that's pure speculation -- never even came close to that.
