Re: Pretenders
 

I am putting in the nation-specific themes. But as far as I know, the themes available to multiple nations cannot be discovered from merely looking at a pretender unless you try to remake the pretender and see that there are points missing (to make an educated guess). I will not be doing that, of course, so any common themes will just have to stay secret.

I received the shovah pretender and am now missing only two.

Re: Pretenders
 

Shovah you know that putting astral on a battle-centric pretender is kind of a faux pas, right? One lucky lizard Shaman with a Magic Duel and your pretender is insti-killed.

I am missing the pretender only from High Priest Narash.

Re: Pretenders
 

Astral Wyrms are very potent. As long as it has a moderately strong astral path, it should be fine.

And a shaman can't cast magic duel w/out an "expensive" cap, as astral duel requires lvl 2 path in the CB mod.

i stuck on my wyrm 5 fire and 7 astal and empowerd him with nature

Re: Pretenders
 

Power of the Spheres or Light of the Northern Star would also do the trick; failing that, you can always give your Shaman a couple of astral pearls to reach level 2 for one spell, thereby allowing them to Magic Duel your poor Pretender.

Standard warning, Magic Duel only looks at your base level, with one possible exception, so beware! Second standard warning, the Banner of the Northern Star might give +1 astral to *enemy* mages, so you could empower them without even noticing it.
