Better yet, empower thugs/SCs. Slap on a flame helm (which helps your protection anyway) and now you can phoenix pyre (and fire shield, resist fire if that helps). Very nice combo with soul vortex, on say a wraith lord. Heck, empower a second time with fire and stay in dominion for a heck of an imortal kamakazi with stock equipment. 80 fire gems isn't *that* bad considering you don't need to forge any equipment and it beats the heck out of alchemizing.

Re: Summons: Your thoughts.....
Umbrals. These guys, avaliable to all eras of Agartha iirc, are extremely good for their price. High health, ethereal, life stealing undead are one thing. But when you throw in national mages that can cast darkness and marble warriors or army of gold/lead and it's something else.

Re: Summons: Your thoughts.....
However, Umbrals can't be central to your strategy as Middle Era Agartha, IMO. Only national mage capable of summoning them is the capital-only Oracle. If they've got the spare time, its a very good use of their summon, but unless you get (onyx?) amazons or the right independent mages, it just costs way too much to get going as a central part of your strategy. Quite a bit more viable in LA or EA.

Re: Summons: Your thoughts.....
I've not have much experience with MA Agartha but you're probably right. Still, it's nice to be able to use 'em.

Re: Summons: Your thoughts.....
I think the point of umbrals in a setting like you're describing is to cast Gift of reason onto them and make them into cheap, powerful, thugs.
