I've never been adverse to the existence of magicians, they actually would work very well as one of those commoner classes, such as the ones presented in the DMG. A playable one at that. They definately work better as NPCs to amaze and annoy.

Yes Gargamel but would you play one as a PC in Birthright?

I played a magician (2E AD &D) long ago. The DM made birthright a low magic campaign. The campaign was more typical D&D until we played King of the Giant Downs and the group's Paladin became ruler. My magician character was kind of a wily counselor advising the group's "leader" a paladin on magic and statecraft. In a wilderness setting any magic was a big deal. Also with the experience bonuses nonblooded charaters received, my character got to 8th level while the blooded characters were around 6th.
I think that the magican (and non-blooded characters) are worth playing, but it depends on the type of campaign.

However, the suggestion was for a blooded magician and I am not sure why anyone would want one of these!

How about just for the challenge of playing one, good roleplaying can make any type of character fun to play.

All I gotta say about this one is that "can you imagine what a highly skilled magician would be capable of in a diplomatic setting?" His abilities at scrying and illusory magic would grant amazing advantages if used properly.
As to whether or not I'd play a magician (blooded or not) in Birthright the answer is yes. As a matter of fact, if my present character decides to die on me a magician is what I was planning on bringing in.Arlen Blaede-Blademaster

Arlen makes the best argument however for the use of a blooded magician!
