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.

uhm there is always a use for construction with all nations .
evocation + alteration + conjuration are nice for abysia too after blood .
i think all nations need at least either thaumaturgy or alteration or evocation for battlemagic , al nations need construction for SCs and either blood or conjuration to summon them .
enchantment is perhaps not so important for abysia .
more than thaum 2 ( for sitesearch ) is not so important too .
but conjuration 6 at least is pretty good for abysia to give them extra research / flexibility by spectres .
alteration is good for pretenderbuffing .
evo is good too and blood of course .
i think almost every nation in dom can use almost all schools , expect enchantment / thaumaturgy are not important early game goals .
thaumaturgy is for nature / astral mages as anti-sc weapon though .
that abysia needs further strengthening is insane .
they are one of the first 5 nations taken in almost every mp game .
with the right pretender they are really good , imo even too good .
oh and welcome back from your holiday cohen
