But that's not not conductive to balance. Lirael (Old Kingdom book series) is a very clear example of a swordmage. Wearing medium armour and casting runes through her blade to fight monsters and demons. The Toa from Bionicle use weapons and cast magic. The Elder Scrolls also has unnamed battlemages and spellswords who tend to die in droves. WoW shamans use elemental magic and channel it through their weapon strikes. WoW Death Knights could also be more necromancy based swordmages.</blockquote>
