Yup, I've run into them as well, they are a bitch. They surround you so you
can't get a hit or spell off. They also do a great "suck in", where when
you get hit, you get stuck for a bit. I followed a portal down, and
surprise it opened into 8 of them. We had a mage with us, and chain
lightning does the job.
