(Or is it necessary that SC-VQ are equipped with Fire/Earth magic?)
Some people are under the belief that VQs, inside their dominion, particularly in conjunction with "mad castling", can be lobbed over and over at an invading army with no real risk.

What they're forgetting is that if you got killed the first time, you're going to get killed again EVERY time you try that same stunt, and while it doesn't really hurt, it doesn't really accomplish anything either, and you'll just die repeatedly while losing castles and temples one by one.
