User blog comment:Some Argonian Named Kesch/Stormcloak Rebellion: Is Anyone Really Right?/@comment-5700881-20131111004831/@comment-9062114-20131112015901

The Stormcloaks do have mages, Battle-Maidens who usually heal soldiers on the battlefield. Using magic would've probably been more destructive since if they used Flames or Sparks it could stop uncontrolable fires in the city.
