Depends on what you mean by realistic. In single-player, sure you can. In multi-player competetive gaming, it might be at a disadvantage compared to a cheaper rainbow pretender who builds his own non-pretender supercombattants, but having a bit of both worlds is an advantage in itself, and there is some efficiency in being able to conquer a province and then site search it, instead of taking a move to move the rainbow, without accomplishing anything else at the same time.

The immortal non-combat-casting pretender is an interesting idea, and high encumbrance is appropriate for the crone. Enc 99 seems over-much, though. I'd just give her a high encumbrance, low accuracy, immortality, and a higher base cost to pick her. When we can mod in new pretenders, I'd leave the old crone in, and add this new type of crone.
