Commanders that don't list a research ability can't research. Arco Golden era philosophers have no magic ability, but can still research.

Witchdoctor penalty - I've heard that they are bad at research now but haven't played Machaka recently.

Witchdoctor's now research at a base level of 3, instead of the 5 they would normally have with three magic skills.

Research can't be reduced below 0 but can be reduced to 0 (non-experienced level 1 mage in drain-3).

I take it you've never played a drain 3 nation. The minimum research value is 1, and never lower than that.
