I so far have 2 vastnesses and a number of greater othernesses and othernesses. These are fine for free units. Some of them seem to replace cavalry.

Most have mind bLast. That's like free illithids even if they're immobile.

I only have an astral-4 blessing since this is my first ry'leh game. High water for bless effects would indeed be very interesteing. I even think death would be nice since it would let you forge skull mentors and access death gems plus give you a fear blessing. I love that so many of the summons regenerate.

Vastnesses are amazing. It's fun to watch the AI's units attack the vastness and damage themselves due to the blood vengeance.

Best thing is all these units are almost free once you have your starspawn priest at astral 2. If you use returning and don't count the cost of the astral gems or replacing the feebleminded.
