lvl 3 :
Arcane archer
Besides the wizard, the archer are the only humans serving in the army, and the only ones who received a military formation. Swordmen and squires weren't need since the arcanes blades fulfil their roles, but the wizard still haven't found the good rune combination to make arcane bows act as they should.
Shooter.
Dream archer
Those archers use enchanted arrows. Despite the pain caused, their shots are very likely to put their opponents to sleep.

Some crystal have a strange property which make them absorb magic.

Flyer. Bravery. Immune to fire. Giant slayer. Dragon slayer.
Nebula
Unlike the garuda, the nebula are very docile, and are easy to educate. The reason may be that they fly high above the clouds, and they have no natural predators up there. In another hand, it makes them very hard to find and catch.

I like so far, would have gotten a high score from myself.  Though Arcane Shield might be a bit Deus Ex Machina.
