"Though somewhat frowned upon, and highly unwelcome in the Wizard Guild, black magic is not all that restricted in Ardania. It does not only concern highly destructive powers or sinister aims (which can be said of any sort of magic, to be honest). The only real problem seems to be that the preponderance of evidence shows that every dark mage sooner or later becomes insane. That by itself is not such a good thing for the overall reputation of magic users".

Strategy[]
Good spell caster. Can be upgraded with perks to cause considerable damage to most units.
This unit has the potential of getting two actions that rejects 
damage bonuses; Shadow Blast, and Rain of Death. This means that either, its regular attack, Fireball, or Black Fire can get a tripple effect of damage bonuses! See Damage Calculation Guide for details.
