Re: Best ways to poach mages...
Earth Attack is indeed effective. It's also high research (Conj 8, right?) and requires an E5 mage to cast. So it's not an easy solution, but it sure is fun.
Disease Demons also work pretty well.
Vengeance of the Dead can be highly effective against a battlemage (or anyone else who's killed a lot of people), but you might need some MR-penetration gear. Useless against mages who haven't ever left the library....
As another option:
Gift of Health + spamming Mind Hunt = loads of dead commanders
Just make sure that your Mind Hunters are hiding in a province with strong friendly Dominion. If they happen to stumble over an enemy Astral mage, Gift of Health will rehabilitate them pretty quickly.
I whacked an enemy Pretender once with Mind Hunt. MR-penetration gear is a good thing....
