If they increased the spellcasting skill from 10% to 30%, or at least 20%, it would be great. But if you level up two magic skills, some useful abilities won't fit. Although, I don't know, but without luck, defense, and leadership, I can't imagine how to play effectively. As for logistics, I take it for any race (although education is sometimes more useful), and in the case of elves, it's very useful for attacking in the early stages, where they have an advantage over most other races.
