Re: Astral magic seems overpowered
FR might be more likely then CR, due to so many items that are popular on SCs giving FR. Also, there are generally other uses for E gems, so Frost Brand makes a great alternative (unless you are going to be fighting hordes of undead.)
My personal fave, actually, is Demon Whip. As long as you don't encounter FR, you're good to go, and it is only Const 2 and 5 F gems. By far the most economical SC/thug weapon.
