I'd like to think I could do that but the only time I ever die is
  
    1. Surrounded by monters, getting hit, can't get any spell off.

    2. Take a whopper hit that knocks me below my mana shield, with only 
94 hps its usally over the next hit. 

    3. Townkilling low life scum. 

In all these situation I couldn't ready a suicide spell in time.  

BTW what spells do you keep ready?

My level 33 mage does the following

f5 = Fireball
f6 = Chain Lighting
f7 = Gaurdian or Stone Curse
f8 = Teleport
