Years of violence and brutality to support the study of forbidden magical arts have turned the shadow mages into feared fighters. Now completely enthralled with power, they have been known to command small followings of henchmen. They are outmatched in direct magical combat with their magic-using peers, instead channeling their energies into devestating melee attacks. Despite their offensive power, the corruption in their souls has begun to adversely affect their health.
Special Notes: The leadership of this unit enables adjacent units of the same side to deal more damage in combat, though this only applies to units of lower level. The unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent.
