I think the answer to the original question has been answered multiple times, but I'll add my experience. I'm a level 11 wizard in my groups rise of the runelords game. We are definitely not min/maxing but I feel super powerful.
In a given day, we start off in Magnimar or Sandpoint, waking up in a nice bed, well fed (usually on the house because we saved the town so many times). I teleport us to the place we need to go. I scout the entire dungeon with divination mapping the entire dungeon and monsters I see (unless they know we are there, it doesn't make sense that monsters would be hiding or lying in wait). Encounters usually go with the party protecting me so I can do a mass aoe ability, like fireball or confusion, and the party cleaning it up. Once we meet the boss, I baleful polymorph it into a corgi. We have two corgi's now. Then we teleport back to the inn. What a day!
I have also cast geas on the mayor of magnimar so he will build me a castle as my lair. I can't even imagine what is possible in a couple more levels. Wizards are the only class I've played that actually change the way the game is played.

Vanna looks at Figit-God leave. Then she looks at the group. "Well, that's good. Guess we get to live. Now then, how do we get back?

Vanna is gawking at the transpiring events. She then comes back to her senses. "I think any of us would like to right every wrong we can think of. But no matter what you change, history will repeat itself in one form or another. Will you re-write the universe every time something doesn't go as planned. There are innocents living peacefully even in this messed up world."

Vanna was waiting. Finally it seems the gloves are coming off. She starts an incantation and upon finishing, a ray of fire blasts at Arael.

"Umm, I don't like where this is headed." She is looking around frantically as the room is becoming more hazy.
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
Doesn't matter to me. If either happens I would be ok with it.

Vanna senses the power coming from the machine, and determines that the larger threat than the two remaining Lashunta. She runs over and helps the Professor.
Use Magic Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Vanna takes a step back and decides she needs to stop the root of the problem. She waves her hand summoning the power of fire again, and blasting Stardust.
Back up and scorching ray stardust.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Vanna reaches for the nearest Lashunta (not Elai) and attempts to burn them as fire conjures around hand.
Flaming Grasp
Melee Touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 +3 if they are wearing metal

"Wonder what her plan is for me when I see her.

Vanna blasts one of the girls with a fire beam.

Vanna's forearm to her hand engulf in flame. She leans towards the Lashunta. "She won't say a word if she knows what's good for her."
Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Why can't I be cool and roll like a 30+ with that modifier
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
"Are you saying to want me to shoot it with fire?" Vanna says perplexed.
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
Now will be a good time to cast mage armor. Vanna speaks an incantation and fortifies herself with magic.

"This seems like a fair deal. Really only after Stardust and the stopping of her fleet of flying metal dome ships."
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
Unable to resist the temptation, Vanna is jumping up and down seeing how much higher she can go.

Vanna steps up to the portal to the Sentinel City and turns to the group. "Well shall we? Perhaps we'll get promoted to lieutenant. She chuckles as she says the last sentence.
Then she turns and steps in the portal.
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
"Victor is right. Stardust needs to be stopped."

Vanna is trying to comprehend the scene in front of her. On one side, a terrified man in chains is being warded off by several people, while Figit is weeping in the arms of a dwarf. All in front of a demon with a pair of djinni. She had seen many things since she left home, but this was off the charts bizarre. Vanna knew that Nadezdha was tempting them, and it was a personal battle for them. Even so, seeing Figit so happy at the sight of this dwarf. Must be hard to turn it down.
Then Nadezdha tempts Celes into killing the man. "Celes, you aren't a killer like that. If he was a problem in your past, you are beyond it now. Plus, if he tries anything with us around. Count on us at least to back you up."
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
Directed at Nadezdha. "Honestly, I bet she will come to us after some time. And if the whole world here feels the same way she does, then killing her might not solve the problem. Send us to this third test."

Vanna started to tune out professor half way through his speech. She didn't know him well, but got the feeling this will happen a lot. She noticed Celes back down from the one guy with chains that was summoned. Such power to summon someone like that, instantly. She grew up with magic instructors so she recognized the power being used. Keeping an eye on the man, if he tries anything...
"Right! Get to the point. Look, if we need to pair up to end this thing, then " She rings Victor's arm. "looks like you are free Victor."
Then she whispers to Victor "This is just for the test though, don't be getting any ideas."

"What can you possibly gift us with that we would want demon."

I am still deciding what I want to be. Guess I'll be a carny. But what I wonder.

Vanna comes to slowly, then snaps back when she remembers what happened. "What?! Ugh, my head. Thanks to whoever brought me here." She looks around to get her bearings.
"Give me a moment. Then hopefully one of the gods will help whoever crosses us. I'm in a fighting mood now."

Ow, I was busy for the day, I come back and I am almost dead. That's the last time I try to avoid the fight. Next time i'll just try to wreck it.
Vanna is unconscious, so she hangs limply in the arms of Victor and Professor.

Seeing Victor disappear down the stair case, Vanna hops to the other platform and moves in that direction.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
On the way by I will shoot a elemental ray.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

I'm up for the other game as well. Having a good time here.

"Fine, I don't like snakes anyways. Here's a new one." Moving her hands as she speaks the incantation, a jet of fire springs from her open hand.
Scorching Ray
Ranged Touch at the closest: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Not sure if Figit's +1 bonus applies. 15 if it does.
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 4) = 16

"Victor! Play along. Remember this is a test to see if you are willing to do whatever for the wife and child."
Cast Resist Energy - Lightning (10 resist)

"It's not that bad in here." Takes a breath of the hot air.
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 That's 3 fumbles so far in this game
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Vanna then hears the creature in her head. "What? You'll have to try harder then that." She pushes the spell out of her head, and runs towards the center of the room. The heat obscuring her vision.
Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Cast mage armor if I can.
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)

"Good answer. I don't suppose we just have to walk across. That would be too easy. And it will be hot. Might need to bring something if you don't like the heat."

"So this is how they test to see if love is true?" Vanna stands at the glass doors waiting for the others. "Would you run across lava for a woman Victor?"

"We should head down there. These Lashunta are crazy. As if arranged marriages weren't bad enough, now there's this."

"So commander Stardust is down that way?"

"Oh, ok Victor. I figure you liked this." Walks over and unwraps Victor from his restraints.

"Thanks", when she is released from her shackles. I don't suppose they left our stuff on us?
"Well, I say we bind this one." Beckoning to mysterious NPC. "Then let's find this Stardust and stop this crazy idea of theirs.

You know what I just realized. A band of people with super powers bands together to stop an alien invasion. That is the same premise as the Avengers. We're the Avengers.

Vanna comes to. Eyes blurry at first, she glances around the room to see if the others are also there. "Just wait until I get my hands on you Stardust." She struggles against the restraints.
Female Human Sorcerer 5 | HP 20/24 | AC:12(16) | T:13 | FF:10 | Touch: 12 | CMD: 15 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+5 | Will:+7 | Init:+2 | Speed: 30)
Vanna turns on one of the frightened girls, conjuring flames to her hand, she reaches out to silence her.
Defensive casting Shocking grasp: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Whelp, defensive casting failed, so nothing actually. Needed a 17. Can I take a 5 foot step to not be surrounded?

With a moment to collect herself, Vanna draws on her power and wreathes herself in flames.
Defensive Cast Defensive Shock: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 Change it to fire.
Basically if someone touches me, they will take 2d6 fire damage, then the next time would be 1d6. Then the spell is done. Halves the damage each time.
Then she glares at the Space Vixens. "If you touch me again, I will turn you to ash!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Ow, Those are some serious nails.
Vanna stands up and takes a defensive stance. Too many girls clawing and pulling hair.
Unless of course I can drink a potion.

It's at this time that Vanna decides it's time to speed things up. She grabs and turn the dial to ludicrous fast. In hopes that there is a funky physics in this space ship, making everyone reel from the speed increase. Vanna walks to the center of the room. Standing there quite dramatic she points at the group.
"Don't give Victor the credit for killing that robot. You want the culprit, here she is."

Didn't realize I was so far away.
Vanna hears the commotion up on the catwalk. Good thing she wasn't up there. She would have lost it. No one can talk down to her that much. Looks like Victor is being taken away again. Seems to be his talent.
I take a look at the panel I am nearby and the Lashunta that is next to me.

I had stepped off the lift with Celes, originally. So I would not be inside.
As the elevator door closes she see's Lisa draw her weapon and in a swift motion drop the girl. "Umm.." Then the door is closed. That Lashunta probably didn't deserve that.
Vanna looks around the dome she is now in and starts walking down it.
