Paths on the mage (pretender included) also boost leadership. I don't know the exact numbers offhand; it's in the manual, which isn't with me atm.

S: + magic leadership
F: + normal leadership
B, D: + undead leadership

Astral gives you more MR.

I am almost certain that astral does not give you extra MR. It is true that the majority of units with astral magic have high MR but if you check their MR the high number is listed as a base, not a number below that with a magic-bonus listed.
Also, a pretender with S10 still only gets 18MR in neutral dominion.

The bless gives MR, but not to the mage iirc(unless he is blessed, of course).

Astral gives increased magic leadership.

Astral gives you more MR up to a limit of 18, after which it has no effect. It also gives more magic leadership (all paths do, but astral more so).

I just did a quick test and, unless empowered astral magic doesn't count, this does not seem to be the case.
3 levels of empowered astral magic resulted in a 14MR commander - exactly the same MR as he had with 0 astral magic.

Pretenders do not get bless effect even wearing sacred items.
