[Pocus]

Thanks for listening.

About the blood mage, I think Chris Byler suggested he can be blood1/fire1, thus rising his cost to perhaps 110 gp. That would be then more problematic to recruit him en masse (though still possible if the focus of the player is blood at all cost).

Also I think forbbiding the taking of a magic scale (perhaps not to 3, but 1 or 2 would be cool) is not necessary, as it closes the strategy to use newts as fast researchers (the goblin them of Jotun is rather powerful with this setting by the way).
