Not that I am against the idea as such, but for the assasin/bloodmage to use his magic in battle he requires bloodslaves, and it would look a little funny when the assasin mage performs his assasination with his harem of nubile young bloodslaves tagging along.

Ooooh one of my most favorite tactics. I often create assassins (with that heart) out of blood mages that can sneak (pandemoniac, heliophagus). I love them casting Hellbind heart to force the target to change sides, then the next event in that province is a combat between that commander and the troops still in the province. Sometimes he even wins the province for me. Then I collect a few blood slaves and move on.

For non-blood assassins I often give them the skull talisman because the skeletons that show up often distract long enough for the assassin to do its job. Blood slaves serve the same purpose.

I especially love the Helophagus. Flying all over the map doing his assassinantions until the Last commander takes the province (no guessing when to attack). The sneaking demons he creates make a great backup for any time he happens to get spotted and attacked.
