... All this current system does is reward luck. I simply want less luck involved, more skill. You may have a great plan that revolves around getting a couple of paths on one mage. How logical does it sound to you that you would "try" to make that happen via academies, talent searching etc? You think it is more balanced to assume that you are going to spend resources on a mage you have zero use? That doesn't make sense to me.

The game is not intended to play like chess. It has a many random components, quite intentionally. As for random magic picks on recruited mages being logical or not. It is magic. Perhaps not all Sages have aptitude for all paths of magic, perhaps a few Kings of the Deep have natural affinity for death, perhaps out of all the Gygjas you manage to scrounge up from the wilds around Jotunheim you only find one that specialises in astral etc.
