Battle

All varieties of Magna Roader have a chance to use powerful level two magic every other turn, but otherwise only use normal attacks. The brown Magna Roader has a unique AI script that gives it a chance to cast Fireball when attacked while alone. All four varieties are very weak enemies and are easy to defeat.
