Re: Why is Voice of Apsu conj 3?
You have to look at the capabilities of individual positions to make much sense out of the levels required for different effects.
A lot of positions either get a single death or astral on a random, or have some ability to bootstrap into a single death or a single astral via summons.
There's a similar rationale behind the placement of the different boost items - why does the water bracelet require 1W while the crystal coin requires 2S2E? Well, it's to make all the positions that get at least 1W better but not all the positions that only get 1S and no 2E.
The different magic paths are not, in fact, *supposed* to be particularly balanced or symmetrical against one another. It's the *nations* that are supposed to be balanced.
