What i like is they really have great aim with their spells from long distance. This is the case with enemy mages too.

:D

Oh dude I know! Havnt tried the mage companions but I've seen the enemy mages and man, they are good. Take a look at the Flame Atronach you can summon. That thing can pin a fireball to a fly at 100 yards! Obvciously I'm exagerating a bit but they are great. Always very accurate, they hardly ever miss when attacking the enemies. Go NPC mages! Also, I have a question, I play a mage, do you think a mage companion along mwith me being a mage is a bit much or would it work nicely together?
