They would rather be weakned by some kind of magical plauge, than an anti-full moon (lunar eclipse?), as their physical prowess is largely dependant on their inherent arcane power.

Sounds good. Maybe my guy is responsible for it so thinks they are now weak enough to kill with a swarm of clones in a surprise attack. He goes onto the battle field as well, feeling a tad cocky that he got them into that situation. I'd assume he would still end up losing and forced to retreat.
