Oh man, you gave me an idea...what if *no* units inherently possed any magic
and it is *always* derived from objects? We could scatter these objects
which have various powers all over the place and depending on what you
find/take, those are the abilities that you get (for the unit that posses
it)? One modification to this is that perhaps each side gets *one*
magic-being character (like Merlin) as they see fit, but all other majic
comes from the objects as I've just mentioned. Just a thought.
