It's been suggested many times. I really like the idea, but there are currently several problematic units. First, there are commanders that can do some of the things a mage might, without being mages: Phisolophers of EA Arcos, Communicants of MA Pythium and perhaps few more. Second, and more importantly, there are mages that can be recruited without a lab (any mage with just random picks), including nations like EA Hinnom, MA Ashdod, MA Jotunheim, LA Man.

I'd love to have a way to recruit national scouts, spies, assassins and military leaders without forgoing recruitment of national mages, but there aren't any easy ways to do it.
