Shadow Mage

(image)

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: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health. The ability to teach battle experience to adjacent allied units allows them to earn experience points equivalent of the second unit level whenever the tutor attacks with his melee attack and hits at least once.
