Well please post your opinions . I will perhaps ask a lot of questions then about your viewpoints but in the end you probably convince me .
Well if you want my opinion, which it always has been, that Air is the most powerful of school with all the goodies. Now with that said, do I think False Horrors is overpowered because you can spam them? Or because 2 Seraphs or even Harab Seraphs can cause havok and make it frustrating to play with/against.

My answer is no. I do however feel that False Horrors is not true to the game dynamic for only the reason that Air already has multiple summons along it's path. I don't know why Air has to have A.) Cheap Reusable Battle Summons B.) Cheapest Potent Battlewide Magic (Armor Piercing for your pleasure!) C.) High-strength individual battle attacks and individual/battlefield buffs and D.) Universally usable Summons E.) Artifacts that totally negate entire types of units (Archers AND Fliers) at a markedly lower cost than others.

My feeling is that Death (and to a limited extent Nature) should but as good, if not better at A.). So any feelings on 'nerfing' False Horrors falls in line with the magical definition and strength of Paths of magic.

I have been swarmed by False Horrors, I have swarmed with False Horrors, I have been successful and have been unsucessful. In the end it doesn't make as much difference. People who tend to complain about these things in this manner are 'tired' of that strategy because of it's effecitveness and having to mold a defense for it for every nation/pretender.

Caleum is weaker than it was previous to the 2.12 patch, so it's hardly overpowered now more than it was previous. While very decent (I'd place it in the top 5 nations, easily, but not the top) there is no reason it shouldn't be based on the mechanic of flying and it's very obvious advantages in the game that cannot be changed.
