Another idea could be to make them Immortal, so having them killed (and that's pretty easy with their stats )won't be such a game killer (the -1 in each path makes recalled RBs useless..). Let's pretend they master resurrection magic ...

This is a really neat idea, to let someone play with magic at a lower risk.

From the pretender description: The Arch Mage is a mage who has attained such power that he has mastered his own mortality. Granted this probably just means he will never die from old age, but maybe it can be interpreted as immortality. I dont think an immortal low-cost 7-slot rainbow mage would be imbalancing, it is almost useless for expansion... if you equip it and send it into a fight you can lose all those items to a stray arrow.
