But what does that have to do with air bless being weak? It isn't like you can't use national air mages if you don't take an air magic pretender. I don't understand the argument that because air magic grants powerful combat spells it should have a weak bless - the combat/utility spells are used by recruitable air mages, the bless is on the pretender - they aren't really related at all. I mean sure the pretender is another air mage, but one isn't going to make much difference and he still wouldn't need anywhere near A9.
