And by giving him/her some trait, a la WOG commanders; Knights could bestow "knightly grace" on their troops, so that they can do double damage whenever morale triggers, Wizards would be able to cast 2 spells per turn (because they are the ultimate supreme masters of magic, we all shoud know that by now...). The thing is, if we are striving for that goal you mentioned, there's no need for an intermediary; let's make the hero more active by making him more active.

Expanding a bit on this, I've come up with this:

Knights - Retaliation strike (as in Heroes V);
Clerics - Sanctuary - protect a single stack from all forms of harm, as long it does not move or attack and it is not the single stack on your side of the battlefield;

Druids - Entangling roots (like the dendroid one, but dealing damage per turn);
Rangers - Precise shot ( a hero attack that ignores defense and that always kills at least one unit);

Wizards - 2 spells per turn (as long as their combined cost it not greater than x) or spell point regeneration;
Alchemists - convert dead enemies into precious resources;

Heretics - Heresy (mark an enemy to unit to take double damage from fire spells);
Demoniacs - Gating (Heroes V);

Necromancer - Instanteneous conversion (raise skeletons from a dead corpse, but lesse than necromancy and the dead stack won't be available for necromancy);
Death Knight - Chiling blades (a la Heroes V);

Warlocks - Spend twice the mana to cast a damaging spell for twice the damage (2 times per battle);
Overlords - Killing a stack gives the troop another turn;

Barbarians - Humanoid creatures can enter berserk mode, losing defense in order to increase attack and attacking the nearest creature (or enemy);
Battle magi - Killing a stack rewards the hero with some spell points (nice, ain't it? Fits the class very well, imo);

Witches - Indestructible First Aid Tent that can be used to poison, curse or petrify enemies;
Beastmasters - Issuing the defend command causes "beasts" you control to regenerate and gives them 1 more retaliation strike;

Elementalists - casting one spell each turn from a different school, ensues the next is cast with +x spell power (so, if you start with slow, as long the spell you cast next turn is not from the earth school, it will be cast with +x spell power and, in the third turn, in order to get the bonus again, but +2x this time, you must cast a spell from the 2 remaining schools of magic);

Planeswalkers - elementals you control have special abilites (earth can move to any space on the battlefield, fire leaves a burning trail...);

Navigators - Water spells casted on turn x are "echoed" on turn x+2, so, for example, is you cast bless on turn one, it will be automatically casted again on turn 3 (for free);

Captains - Cannons are indestructible and fire twice as long as there are pirates or crew mates nearby;
