Magic won't last forever, though, after that you'll have to engage the beast in melee AND be able to hold out and do enough damage to make the dragon withdraw.
For that you'd need to have at least 4 characters in your party well capable of battling enemies in melee. A perfect party (in my opinion) would be usually something like 1 Wizard, 1 Elf (your choice which, I recommend Firun Elf), either 2 Fighters or 1 Fighter / 1 Thorwaler (whatever they're called in English) or 1 Warrior / 1 Dwarf, and either 1 Rogue (if you don't have a dwarf) or 1 Juggler. If you take a Dwarf with 1 Fighter then you might want to take 1 Druid or Witch instead of Rogue for additional magic caster in party, the Dwarf will take care of locks and bartering.
In my party usually even the Wizard is able to go over to melee (with the armor raising spell), while not any less capable with magic, but it's optional.
