What it comes down to, is some nations have weak mages, and some nations have powerful nations..... but the sacred mages are not always the most expensive for the amount of power that they possess.

As an example compare:

High Seraph - 6.1 paths, 280 cost, mundane
Celestial Master - 6.1 paths, 250 cost, sacred
Starspawn (blue) - 6.1 paths, 280 cost, mundane
Bakemono Sorceror - 8.1 paths, 300 cost, sacred

All of these mages are MA, all are recruitable anywhere (save the Celestial Master), and both of the sacred mages are better cost/power ratio than the mundanes.

Whaa???!! I BEG TO DIFFER GOOD SIR. Assuming we're talking about MA, I would trade that Celestial Master for the ability to even have cap only Starspawns. EASILY. As for EA, it seems unfair to compare the EA CM to MA mages as their effectiveness is scaled differently.
