National troops and mages vs SC and High Magics

[Graeme Dice]

As long as a particular SC is not immune to every element, then most national mages should not have too much trouble dealing with it. Air mages have thunder strike, fire mages have incinerate, water mages have frozen heart, and earth mages have petrify. For undead SC's, astral nations always have communion and Light of the Northern Star to boost the damage of solar rays. Astral fires is also a good possibility. Death mages have many spells to use against undead SC's, and have drain life against most other things. Blood mages are not really very good on the battlefield, but can field their own SC's and devils, which are both very effective. Nature magic doesn't have a lot that will help, although charm can be quite effective against non-pretenders.
