Looming hell allows body guards to attack mages - works ok.. only in situations when you have assassins in the square (to make him use bodyguards) or perhaps when you have autosummoning troops.
Or if he's using bodyguards to protect against Earth Attack or other assassin spells

Which may or may not kill him.
Except that flying monkeys don't ever attack mages (according to the spell description). I hadn't thought of Whirlwind, though.
