I can understand the appeal. After all, it's only fair when a lot of 'melee' combatants end up indulging in a bit of magic on the side. My main concern is plausibility and balance - I'm wondering what sort of weaknesses exist for the characters out there that are physically strong, well armoured and capable of using powerful magic.
