One of the problems with Air is that there's little synergy.

That's true. But still, it is a great great combat magic. The best one in my book.

Thunderstrike is better than falling frost or fire clouds, it is more versatile than blade winds (Which wont do jack on armored units). Air mages get more precision, which is great, and air mages also can cast mistform for example to protect them from strafing arrows. Coupled with a few great early combat buffs (like wind guide, arrow fend) and a few good battle enchants (like wrathful skies), plus the fact it is AN, make it a great artillery school of magic.

Plus it's the second best one, after astral, for thugs. Mirror image and mistform are 2 very good spells as well.
