i tend to research construction pretty late with LA Atlantis. I prefer to push the research up the conjuration path and the Evocation path. conjuration for the remote sight searching for water and death. winter wolves and shades for early gem use. then to spectres to get some magic diversity which you need desperatly. evocation for falling frost which is one my favorite spells to spam.So, that leaves me to equip SC's with trinket stuff. I usually will just use a ice sword, blacksteel shield, blacksteel helmet and plate using one of your 1e capitol mages and any earth gems you can scrape/alchemize up.
