Magia and the world, day 12

How much has the presence of magic affected military strategy and tactics in general?

Guns and other firearms like them (except for bows and similar weapons) do not exist, but weapons can and often are enchanted, making for swords that shoot beams like a blademage's weapon (even when the user has no blademage training whatsoever), various enchanted arrows (your standard fire, ice, and light arrows, plus some new elementals), and even ways to magically infuse catapult rocks. Defensive wise, you can put up a strong shield around your camp to deflect (or reflect) the magia, absorb it for your camp, or drain it out of your opponent's weapon.
