Whoops, I thought I posted with a clarification but I must have forgot to hit "Send."

Yeah, the special cases--Dom3 isn't really designed to go above path levels of 10 or so without boosters, but there was a poster a few weeks ago who said he got to >100 by adding lots of randoms in a mod. Two problems: the mod was kind of unstable, and it kills the fun in the rest of the game. You have to realize that 3 levels is a strong mage, and 4 is a very strong one. When you're playing with 100 levels in your pretender you stop appreciating everything else in the game. My guess is that you're disappointed with the low-research-level spells like Fire Flies and Flying Shards and want them to do something spectacular. Rather than bumping up your path level to Earth 100 or something, I think you should give yourself #onebattlespell "Magma Eruption" or something similar and take 10 Earth levels so that you can cast one spectacular spell off the bat without researching it. It will still be impressive how much better your Earth 10 pretender is at that spell than everyone else, but it won't kill the joy of using other mages.
