{{fanopinion|
Magi and Arch Magi have good damage output thanks to their high attack and lack of a melee penalty, but suffer from below average speed and are somewhat fragile due to their low defense and [[health]]. Theodorus will not only mitigate these weaknesses as he levels up but also further improve their offensive capabilities. If playing on impossible [[difficulty]] it may be a while before you can utilize the specialty since the [[Mage Tower]] is considerably expensive early game unless you find an external dwelling.

The specialty results in Arch Magi having speed 8, tying with the [[Cyclops King]] and [[Storm Elemental]]. This is fast for a ranged unit (only [[Sharpshooters]], [[Enchanters]], and [[Titans]] are faster) which allows Arch Magi to act before many strong enemy troops such as [[Basilisks]] and [[Pit Fiend and Pit Lord|Pit Lords]].

Theodorus doesn't start with [[Sorcery]] or [[Scholar]] allowing him to learn other skills that may be more desirable (note that as a Wizard he does still have a high chance to learn those skills). Ballistics has some synergy with Tower troops as due to their low speed (fastest troops are [[Genie and Master Genie|Master Genies]] and Titans with speed 11) you may not get the first cast in a battle. During a siege however, as long as there isn't a defending hero with [[Artillery]] you will get the first move thanks to the catapult enabling you to buff your army or cripple the enemy troops.
