Nope. I've tried to use the cheap Raptor mages as melee thugs (sorta like Alex's flying chopping Smiths or my own 'death from above' Vanjarls) but with no real success so far. Maybe if they had a second level in either air, earth or death magic that would be doable. As they're now I can't see any real use on the battlefield for them, at least early in the game.
