LA Man Magister Sometimes No Research

[VedalkenBear]

The way I use no-magic Magisters is as spies (clearly). Basically, I send them out to find castle provinces, sit them there, and cause unrest while my army gets closer. Then, once my army is besieging the castle, I have the Magisters switch to Besieging to pull down the walls faster. If you have a Staff of Storms in the army (which would be likely only if you're using magical troops), then you can use Summon Storm Power to get to Air-2 and use them to throw Lightning Bolts in the battles. Alternatively, just cast Storm in the battle.

I wouldn't give them items if they're used as spies, as IIRC they only have Stealth(0).
