Editing Martyr Mage (section)

=== Pros ===
* There is no protection against life magic damage. That is, since the damage is non-elemental and is dealt directly to the enemy's health, there is no life protection spell to reduce it.
* Because you do not deal in elemental damage you do not need to carry around a vast array of wands.
** Typically a Critical Strike (Quest: Biting Strike) or Crippling Blow (Quest: Crushing Blow) wand is desired.
* Template finishes early.
* Specialized Creature and Life makes for a good support mage, and not having war magic means more experience can be invested into creature/item/life.
* Drain spells have a much larger radius of operation than the void magic Destructive Curse spell, for example, which makes attacking Mob's remotely possible, and useful at times, although it is not particularly efficient, or timely way to take down a mob. (Players attempting this may wish to use Raven's fury, or Health to Mana, if practical to "empty" health in preparation for a drain of a remote target)
