Arcane Marksman (was: Launchers with Infinite Unbranded Ammo)

The discussion is getting slightly diverted onto AM here; I do have further ideas about how to change the background but I didn't feel like I had a complete proposal yet so I haven't written it up anywhere yet. These are actually ideas I was thinking about pre-tourament and they got slightly sidelined then and also by the misc. items stuff I've been looking at more recently. My general thinking is that right now Inner Flame would be one of the most fitting AM spells except that it's really awkward to use, necessitating Enslavement which thematically should be nowhere near the AM spellbook. "Arcane Marksman" suggests to me the idea of using magic alongside ranged combat to rain destruction down on the battlefield; what they have right now are largely tools to keep enemies at arms length so they can shoot them a bit more easily. (I'm not sure if I'm quite making my conceptual distinction clear enough there...) I think the current AM spellbook has an interesting theme but it has loads of overlap with Enchanters and we could just give them a ranged weapon option to create a similar effect; or call current AM something different (e.g. "Witcher") and tweak the spellbook a bit and it'd make a lot more sense. Basically the playstyle doesn't in my mind live up to how its name sounds.
