And Charm is hard to use. It has a range of 20, which makes it almost useless against regular mages, who'll have a wall of troops in front of them. Even if you got in range, I don't think it'll target mages, specifically.

It can be really nice against thugs, if you can spam it to get by the MR. Or if you can get Wind Ride to work.

Charm is useless against mages. Most of them have lower hitpoints than normal troops. Spells like charm ,paralyze, soul slave, etc all target high hitpoint troops in effect doing the most "damage" based on the number of hitpoints "killed" when the unit is stolen.

They're great against thugs and SCs since they always tend to have 30+ hitpoints which is far and above even normal high hitpoint chaff.
