Emily is a teenage girl pulled from our world into a world of magic and mystery by a necromancer who intends to sacrifice her to the dark gods. Rescued in the nick of time by an enigmatic sorcerer, she discovers that she possesses strange magical powers and must go to Whitehall School to learn how to master them. There, she discovers that the locals believe that she is a Child of Destiny, someone whose choices might save or damn their world … a title that earns her both friends and enemies. She may never fit into her new world …
…and the necromancer is still hunting her. If Emily can’t stop him, he might bring about the end of days.
She knows all sorts of ideas and innovations that can be introduced to improve her new world, but will she have the time to teach her new friends how to make them?

Nice and interesting read. But I think you are overly optimistic about how long a “real” battle involving magicians would take.
It would probably involve massive amounts of stones and flamable materials being hurled by (shielded) trebuchets, wasps, and magicians to deplete shields and kill off non-magician combatant. The magicians probably keep each other occupied while the other combatants kill each other. If petrol or destilled alcohol was known, it may be piped to the expected battle ground and then ignited. Not a happy place.
A mach 3-5 stone/piece of iron powered by an angry magician would punch trough a lot of troops. Or do serious damage unshielded fortifications.
In order for the combatants survive for any reasonable time, the magicians would have to anchor the shields to something heavy. Otherwise too much magic would be used to push against the stones. If there were no push, the magician would be squished by any sizable stone if the shield was anchored in him/her.
The ground around fortifications might be doctored to keep the attaching magicians from anchoring the shields in something heavy. Forcing them to expend more magic for protection.
