Hello Akira,

I'm interested to hear more about the shamans/hedge mages who fight with some of the legions. Are these people who join the legions as 'infantry' and happen to have a knack for the arcane, or do the legions actively (if quietly/unofficially) recruit magic users from villages?
Don't have time to do a full write up like the one I just did, but in my mind, it's pretty organic. Either they are infanrty that show some sort of knack for teh arcane/primal and are "promoted" to "Squad Mage" (this is especially true for those Centuries/Legions that don't have Auxillia Magus).
Other times these hedge mages are recruited by the legions as they "recruit" in an area to bolster their numbers, especially before a planned campaign.
If you don't mind, I'm going to crosss post this on the FB Group so I can have everything in onme place for future reference.
