No, no blood vengeance actually. But amazing stats and magic. Plus he/she has inbuilt fire shield, blinding-on-strike, and high awe. Good resistances too.

Re: Most Usefull Research Path...
 

How do you get one of those? I know you can wish for it.. but is there another way? I usually play Early Era and Choose Tien Chi all the time so I dont know if I am missing the way.... :S

MA Pythium has a conj 9 spell for 133 pearls that summons the seraph and a bunch of other angels.

Re: Most Usefull Research Path...
 

That is odd it costs 133 pearls to Summon it and 100 pearls to wish it... :S

Re: Most Usefull Research Path...
 

Well it doesn't require a mage with S9, it brings a group of weaker angels that can be used as blockers and it brings the Seraph in as a commander - meaning no Gift of Reason is required.
Not too odd.

Re: Most Usefull Research Path...
 

And you can GoR the harbringers for some more good commanders.

Marignon also gets the angel summons, both in Mid and Late. Late Marignon has acccess ot about a zillion awesome summons - all of blood and some crazy nationals, not to mention Fallen Angels from reascendance.

Months after I first chose Construction as my first choice, I would now choose Blood Magic. I think my game strategy changed a lot. I now use blood even when playing non-blood nations.

This thread was silly.

"I had a Seraph that could solo 40 Abominations!"

Well, not without Cons8 you didn't. And with Cons, you didn't have Seraphs (going by the question posed here). Somehow I doubt a naked Seraph is soloing 40 Abominations.....

I think it depends on the nation though, for a giant nation, you'd think it would be best overall to go Cons every time. Anyone who builds communions, has to go Thaum. Blood nations, really need the Blood. So..... I think a more interesting question would be if you only got *2* schools. Then you can play with synergies a bit, like Thaum+Evo for Jomon artillery communions.

I thought all the domes are from the Enchantment school?
