Mahotsukai Master: 7 magic levels, 310 gold. High Stats, sacred.
Mahotsukai Adept: 4 levels, 200 gold. High stats, sacred.

It stems from their ice & fire immunity. Even more powerful with a bodyguard of Yamabushi monk which happens to be double-immune too (handy!). No friendly fire from area spells cast, ability of fighting under a firestorm (or just wait for your enemy to turn into cinder), immunity to the not uncommon murdering winter (and the rarer Flames for the sky) which is an equalizer against mages (one of the sole method of countering armies of 50+ mages of an enemy). I also note that they have a very good precision (13) compared to Abysia mages (7) which dont suffer from friendly fire, but are useless for evocation magic. Not yours, by far.
I strongly suggest you reduce to 50% their resistance, its too abusable really.
You failed to compare them to a mage with a fire immunity : the warlock, 270 gp, NOT holy, and 6 paths. Or the Grand Master, No immunities, 270 gp, Holy, 6 paths. Your is better, hands down!
secondary subject : Holy cost compared to non holy would be at +50% I would say.
(Its constructive critic, I dont intend to turn down your very good mod.)
