Re: How exactly drain work ?
1. Only if you're planning on using lots of resistable battle magic (astral or death).
5. Psychologically, I want my mages to be as powerful as possible so I frown at drain. Realistically, magic/drain affect both sides equally, and half of the time I'm fighting outside of my own dominion anyway so I should take it. Drain for me is kind of like Death scales. Rationally, it wouldn't hurt me any to take it (especially if I can forge research boosters) but I'd rather take Magic/Growth instead because I have more fun.
(BTW, I think the recent changes to Production scales are awesome. For the first time ever, I'm wishing I had enough spare points to take Prod-1 or Prod-2.)
