Well, if you use them as scouts, they are extremely expensive. And as researchers they are still pretty expensive for what you get. Unless you take a magic scale, I'd say they're barely worth it. As it is, I would say a magic-3 scale is a necessity for Arga Dis, which is a bit strange.

You could perhaps leave them as they are, make them much cheaper and have them as interesting general purpose scout-mages. They could become assassins with a black heart, an occasional one might be useful in battle, some could be sent scouting, and the rest could be put on research. You could maybe give them spy abilities so they could incite unrest (skulking in the sewers setting up blood cults by spreading visions of Dis). Hmm, they could be really interesting multi-purpose units in that case. But you would definitely then need a separate combat mage/better researcher I think.

Incidentally I think the graphics for the misborn are awesome.
