Well, there's the ethereal assassin which is mentioned. I've gotten him in a misfortune scale though.

There's the Animist, N2 mage, which comes with a couple dozen boars (doesn't seem to be able to call allies or anything like that though, but the description says they get more vinemen when they cast that spell) and a magic site, the Animist's Hut which gives 1N. That's a random event and I've gotten it with both Luck and Misfortune, and it also seems somewhat common.

I've gotten an A2 mage as a random event that's nothing special as well. Something about coming from a magical tower and would rather serve you than die in the message, not sure exactly what it said.

Like Nick K said, it's not a big deal as they're usually not greatly powerful or anything, but they can give you access to other paths you normally wouldn't have. I wouldn't plan around it happening though.

Some really great games could be made if we could customize our own events including when and where they happen... with the option of adding them to the random event list.

Maybe in Dominions_4

Well, you can make your own spell and sites in Dom3 already. And I THINK, but haven't tested, that added new sites can appear randomly just like the old ones if they are set to do so.

If Priest and Necromancer count, I get a lot of them as events in the demo. Not really heroic by any stretch of the word, though.

The Rhuax-related event was in Dom 2; rare, perhaps, but it was there. If memory serves, it might be tied to either heat scale, or fire magic on the pretender.

No events are tied to pretender magic.
