I have a few questions, Potatoman, about this really well-done and polished mod.
First, why are the Mahotsukai death mages? I would have thought they would be blood mages, instead. Thinking a little farther, what do you think of perhaps a Mystic analog for Blood? 3 random Elemental magic, and 2 Blood? It'd be really quite versatile for the Elemental Blood Summons, in keeping with the Mahotsukai tradition, and suitably priced (200g, perhaps?) wouldn't overshadow Mictlan.
A second question I have is the generally high cost of the mages. The Karasu Tengu seems a little pricey. Granted, it's Sacred, and it has a double-random, but a base encumbrance of 10 is way too high for any kind of combat mage, IMO. The Mahotsukai, OTOH, are even worse (arguably). They get no random picks. The Adept has similar magic rankings to 100g mages, and yet cost 170g. I note their high precision, and high base protection, but it still doesn't seem to be worth that much. The Master has similar issues, but the guaranteed Fire/Water pairing is probably worth it.
Anyway, just a couple of questions. I look forward to a discussion regarding them.
