I really wish we had Mole so that I could have a high level version of both in my tool box. Mages are all about hitting the right damage threshold for the map you're dealing with--Garania's skill is amazing when her base attack is enough to clear out entire waves in a shot or two but obviously inferior for clearing out a small pocket of heavy armors.
