A Virtue can be Wind Rided and killed unless you give it an Ethereal Item or some ranks in Earth (which is not what we're talking about).

On top of that, there are only a few really good defensive spells for pure Air.

In the great game of things, Awe becomes more and more useless as the game progresses. Even if you CT in order to avoid summons/undead/mindless or anything with a decent morale (20+) she can be hammered down quite easily unless she is in her Domain or GoH which is hardly a consideration if basing things by a standard.

I'm a fan of the Virtue, but she's hardly a SC, and as the game progresses she is less likely to be much more than a support mage, even casting hyperpowerful Orb Lightnings, or Phantasms.
