You may not have noticed that I said expressly, when I typed that scenario, that the mage character could switch to the Hally of Vanq, and change his tactics. Rather than continue to cast, when an archer is firing at you, you could melee the archer. So yes, I'm very well aware, and made provisions for the fact that a mage can indeed switch to a halberd, and take on the role of warrior also. Thank you.
