Discussion of the Academy faction (Mages and Wizards). Tactics and their specific features.

Regarding battle mages, I've written about it several times already, but for Lordesat, who persistently ignores the manual, I'll reiterate: read the section dedicated to creature abilities one more time. There, you'll find the key phrase: "Magical attack." Once you understand what that means, any questions about the battle mage ability will be resolved.
