>Vanheim (Midgard) - Ghost Wolves (3 Air)

This is odd considering that they don't start with air-3 mages.

Exactly. But it's there. They can cast it regardless I think, but it fatigues them mucho grande.

The air-2 mages would be able to cast it with an air gem. I don't think it's worth it.

Only the air-2 mages that got a lucky air pick from the randoms would get to use the free research. That's pretty weak. I must suspect that the theme had air-3 mages at one time, but was changed. The pre-research should have been changed also.

No, they didn't have 3-air mages, but they had Phantasmal Warriors. They should perhaps have both spells. On the other hand, the theme is not a weak one in my opinion.

That makes sense.

I agree. It's a strong theme. I'd say they should get Phantasmal Warriors only. It's weak, but useable.

if Mictlan could get a starting level 1 blood spell it would be better IMO.

Alright; just another question here in terms of "why this?"

Why do all T'ien Ch'i have Flight? There is no national mage that can cast it unless you get a lucky pick or useless(S&A have flying Celestial Masters).

The only hero that can use it is the Master of the Iron Crutch. Perhaps if Flight was a Commander only Ritual spell that give permaflight or some spell to replace it.

Maybe I just don't see the usefulness of that particular spell being a "initial spell". Even thematic.
