When I'm playing a race with Seducers, I send in Scouts with Retreat first into an indie and then Seduce provinces with unique mages or mages of a type I don't get.

I've netted things like an A7 Glamour mage, Fire mages, Circle Masters, Wizards, and all the other weird things that show up in indies.

A neat tactic to get those female mages is to Charm/Hellbind Heart them during the failed Seduction attempt/Assasination. The taken unit will attempt to attack the province when you take them, so make sure you take all the commanders in the province in one turn. This tactic once let me snag Sabrina the Sorceress with the unmakable Robe of the Sorceress artifact.
