"Magical" Mercs? Feedback wanted

[Kurgan]

Then again, there's the EU edition with the Wizard throwing around the Spirit Blade and Orc's Bane (one in each hand) while wearing Borin's Armor...

Actually for the Wizard, I imagine some kind of magically generated weapon (like a sword or axe) that has a limited usage before it dissolves back into the ether.

But I did enjoy designing the "magic for dummies" style cards as spell scroll alternates. Still, if it's just an artifact, the magic guy could hand it to the Hero and then get himself killed off... leading to higher prices at the pub when their reputation goes down...
