Re: Xietor
Well, none really... but Master Enslave is a Thuamaturgy 9 spell, requiring an S8 mage, something thats not necessarily common. It's not the worlds fairest comparison. Tempering of the Will can be helpful against plenty of other spells, though.
620 RP versus 4600 on standard... That's CORRECTION: 1/7th of the effort required. If you're not facing anything that require you to boost your resistance earlier than that, then you're quite lucky. You'll have better odds than many 10 or 11 MR nations....
Regards to mind hunt, you've still got the not-quite effective enough lead shields. Though your Master Smiths will have a decent chance of surviving, the cost of mind hunt is obscenely low.
Even if you can't wipe them out, it may be worth finding the time to kill a level 8/9 astral pretender early, a couple of times. It'll stop wishery.
