Re: If Giants existed in BC times...
One way to make the random-only mages require labs would be to give them some fixed paths, but negative magicboost (just like dragons or Chayot) those paths back down. E.g. Rephaite Sages are S1+100%(F2/E2/S2) with #magicboost -1 in astral. I believe that would force them to be recruited in labs. It would also make them more difficult to empower, but nobody cares about that.
An undesirable side effect, though, would be that you could take an E2 Rephaite Sage and give him a booster (Starshine Skullcap) and he would become E2S1.
