Shadow Mage

(image)

The study of the magical shadow 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. 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. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures.
