'''Magi and Arch Magi''' are level 4 creatures of [[Tower]]. They can be recruited from the [[tower creature dwellings|Mage Tower]]. (''Note, that the correct spelling is 'one mage' but 'many magi'.'')
'''Genies and Master Genies''' are level 5 creatures of [[Tower]]. They are recruited from [[Altar of Wishes]].


''"Apprentice magi, under the mentorship of [[Wizard]]s, serve as Tower troops before they become full masters of their craft. Both mage and arch mage units suffer no [[melee penalty|damage penalty for attacking adjacent enemies]] and reduce the casting cost of allied hero [[spell]]s by two. Arch mage attacks [[Obstacle penalty|penetrate cover]] and deal full damage to enemies behind siege walls."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 114|RoE manual]]''</sup>
''"Genies and master genies are Tower allies recruited from the realm of [[air magic]]. They attack with a shocking grasp that does solid damage to all opponents and 150% damage to [[efreet|efreeti]]. Once per turn, master genies can cast a random, beneficial spell on an allied troop."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 114|RoE manual]]''</sup>


Magi's attacks visually look like bolts of energy, while arch magi's attacks are concentrated beams. They both use their staff to strike enemies in [[melee]] combat.
== General Tactics and Info ==
The Genies and Master Genies bear average stats for a level 5, and their low health make them unlikely candidates for entering melee combat unless needed or their casts have run out.


Although the documentation says that only arch magi ignore the [[obstacle penalty]], but at least in some versions this is also true for magi.

===== Heroes with a specialty =====
Spells cast by Master Genie are random, and casting them uses the genie's turn. The number of master genies in the casting stack does not affect the effectiveness of the spells meaning, that one master genie is as effective as a hundred. This makes it beneficial to divide them into several stacks. All spells are considered to be cast at the advanced level of the corresponding [[Magic school|school]] with a [[spell power]] of 6.

== General Tactics and Info ==
===== Heroes with a specialty =====
Magi and Archamgi are the second shooter of the [[Tower]] faction, replacing [[Gremlin and Master Gremlin|gremlins]] when they become available. It is not essential to upgrade magi early in the game. However, the upgraded Mage Tower only cost 5 {{W}} and 2000 {{G}}. Considering that it gives five more hit points, speed seven and no obstacle penalty, it is more than affordable. The main downside of the magi is, that [[Mage Tower]] has very steep cost, together with their low health.
*{{H|Iona|Alchemist}} and
*{{H|Thane|Alchemist}} have genies as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any genies or master genies for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
