No idea about the mage stronghold, I've never gotten one myself. You're right about backstabbing, and it can be done with any melee weapon the thief can specialise in - short sword, long sword, dagger, etc. I have a little challenge for anyone who plays a thief and is willing to try it; use infinity explorer to grab the script for, say, the rune assassin, then get your main character to use it, and see if s/he can hide in shadows right in front of other people and backstab from any direction. Just a thought.
