Ouch!
I have to agree with you there although if ( I havent played Ea Ermor cb or not) they are of only lvl 1 value it won't be a huge loss as they aren't able to cast site searching spells.
This game wont last long enough to empower I can tell you that!
If thats the case I guess you get a free "If only I had X thing/situation/combination" I woulda won card.
