        Not better, more diverse. Argrath copied many Lunar techniques, most notably the forming of units similar to the Lunar College(s) of Magic. The Lunar techniques were superior in producing the desired effects, (I did not say better, or morally sound).

        Then he got his hands on Draconic powers. Viz, the many instances  of Argrath summoning Dragons. I mean, if one Dragon seems to be a fair match for the Crimson Bat, how do you stop a guy who summons them in such numbers?
