Thank you for the clarification. The name (or its translation) of the ability is very strange. It turns out that if the enemy doesn't have magical cities, then battle mages are completely useless. And if "Magic Dampening" only protects against mage attacks and not against their spells, then battle mages are practically useless even against magical troops.

Battle mages are not protected from the "Magic Dampening" effect, but this doesn't make the ability useless. In a long game, when there are enough mages/archmages, they deal much more damage with attacks than with spells. Besides, by that time, the Academy can create many minor artifacts that reduce damage from magic, so it's not that simple.
