I do like the idea of an Astral demon for Abysia. It is thematic, and as has been pointed out, Abysia already has plenty of demons, so its not going to add a whole bunch of new capabilities to them. Yet they can't summon any of the elemental demons, save with the pretender.

Abysia's research is very bad, it is true, and this is one of those things that balances them out, since they are strong in other ways. Although since Abysia has relatively little use for magic other than blood, they don't strictly NEED all that research.
