EDIT: The trick Ilitarist mentions in above post about casting Cloud spell and closing door is a smart play. It also only works in some battles.
It may not work every time but I remember that unless the battle is started by cutscene you can see the enemy from afar, throw the cloud and retreat so that your enemies stand on the edge of the cloud. The only reason not to use this tactics is because it was repetitive and if the combat had finished early I had to stand there for a long time and wait for the cloud to disappear. Yes, it didn't work every time but it worked often enough.
The closest thing to it PoE had was mage's spell Slicken or something. Made people fall down for several seconds, worked pretty reliably. IIRC it was enough for people to say that the game is broken (they fixed it later so it is not as reliable IIRC). Because our standards are higher today. If BG2 gameplay system were released today people would tear it apart for spells like that killing cloud.
