Artificiers, assassins, and justiciars would also seem to be easy ones.

GMs can op to to use the Discworld RPG magic system instead if they wish, with characters switching the points that the templates assign to spells to Magic and Magical Form skills and improving specific spells, but that may slow combat down a little.
What about using incantors instead?
