Mage (Fire)

Mage (Fire) is a High Elves spellcaster hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Total Waaagh! Update. Elven pyromancers command an impressive array of violently destructive spells, making them well placed in the Asur battle ranks.

Description
In Ulthuan, those who devote their lives to magic are treated with the highest respect and honour. Though each kingdom has its own magical traditions and methods of scholarship, Saphery is the realm most famed for its mages, and it is at the White Tower of Hoeth that Ulthuan's seat of magical learning can be found. There, the greatest collection of Mages, Loremasters and scholars in the world endeavour to perfect their mastery of the sorcerous arts. It is a place of wonders unbounded, where mages strive to harness every aspect of the Winds of Magic.

Spells

Strategy
Different from all of the other mage casters of the High Elves, the Mage of Fire can mount a Sun Dragon, making them a much more powerful melee combatant. It is meant to reflect the Dragon Mages of Caledor. This is similar to the special options of the Amber Wizard for The Empire.
