And she autosummons one of these every turn. If you train them, they have holy 3, air 1 , fire 1 and 2 100% random picks in A/E/F/W/S/B/D and autosummon one manifest (as a troop) each month

Yeah. The idea is that you get power, but it just isn't the kind of power most pretenders give. She won't conquer provinces by herself on turn 2 and cast awesome globals at the late game. She is expensive, with starting dom only 1, and no magical picks to start with. This hurts especially because she has to be awake to get the most of her.

What she gives, however, is the ability to start using "radar" spells immediately with her gems and some nice, free gifted units to boost your expansion. If you give her right picks, she could be a mid-level combanat in early game with some buffs, since she comes pre-equipped.

Yeah, a blood slave too. She has them imported monthly from an Abyssian trader named X'thal, who doesn't want to get any Villains breaking in to his villa to give a "friendly message". It's pretty bloody difficult to protect yourself from ethereal guys.
