With arcane bolt though, you're probably talking about specifically sending someone to kill the thing while you're still using conventional armies... and needing more than one guy (probably) and pearls (most likely). And that spells pain in the butt guy all up in my stuff. He'd be most useful if you surprised them and crippled his forces. He'd probably be fine with a horror helm and some black steel stuff. I'll admit, however, that I only made him on SP, and used him more decked out... but, he was using horror helm and blacksteel. I gave him a brand though.

No, it's 22+AN damage and 10 precision in cbm.
'It's something people will probably have by then' is a strange thing to say. GoR + research to get the magic being, versus a super low level spell that they'll have anyway because they'll have gone for arcane probe. No 'probably' about it. If it's midgame and you use a magic thug against them, they can research it in a turn if they haven't.
If you send S2 mages to cast arcane bolt and the magic being isn't there, they'll switch to numerous other awesome spells against the regular army no matter what's scripted. It isn't like stellar cascades paralyze and mind burn suck against regular troops.
I don't think magic thugs should even be considered against astral nations tbh.
