Sorry brother I have not reached your spell circle yet (but hopefully soon)
so I don't know about these things personally I have only heard a lot about
them. I have heard Enstill lasts a LOT longer than root, which might be why
it is harder to stick. Of course if it isn't even working on blues then
that is pretty bad. I do know that it works well for some people, but maybe
you have to wait a few levels and practice that spell a lot before it starts
working well.

From: James Dwyer <

Hm, when ever I blast they just keep running at me...I guess I really
don't need the stun effect. That's what rooting is for. If it is stun
meant to cancel spells, well I don't need that either because that is
what enchanters are for (anti-magical-artillery). It doesn't seem to
cancel the orc priests from casting on me so I don't know...
I guess I'm going to be a 16th level wizard until 24. I Sincerely hope
none of our later spells have stun because it gets hardeer and harder as
it is than to have blue stuff kick our asses even more :P If we do get
these more often, then we should get tashan/tashani in order to be
effective.
Also, how does one explain enstill resisting all the time? Even more
than my Force Shock...
