Mind Thief

A Mind Thief is a Shyft that can control the minds of its enemies with a barrage of confusing empathic energies.

With a myriad of magically based special abilities, the Mind Thief has many uses on the battlefield. The Thief introduces Magic Confusion to Mage Knight. This devious special ability suits the elusive Shyfts perfectly and allows a successfully hit opponent to be moved by the player using Magic Confusion. Use Magic Confusion to break up enemy formations or to neutralize an enemy by relocating an opposing warrior to a less threatening location. Better yet, move the enemy into the firing arc of one of your warriors with a ranged attack and have that warrior use a second action to attack the confused figure. The Mind Thief also has Magic Retaliation, which makes an opponent think twice about damaging this Shyft. In a pinch, like all Shyfts, the Thief can be used to create a Mage Spawn formation, but its variety of offensive abilities and slow speed make it less useful in this role than other Shyfts
