agreed. They don't look ugly and are the most balanced mages out there. Perfect for my way of playing: mix magic and melee. It seems I have to choose between a shield or a spell now. Because you can't block at all if you have a spell in your left hand, which doesn't make sense since you could just block with your sword... I guess I use magic until they get close to me, and then switch to my shield.
