First of all, Great Warlock is not a good pretender for Abysia. It doesn't give you anything you really need.

Second of all, ew.

Ok, assuming Pr1 is a minimum... if i was going to use that pretender, i'd change the scales as following: T0->T3, L0->L3, see if I can't get points for G3 out of dropping some magic somewhere.

... Is this CBM or vanilla? In CBM i get everything you claimed with G3 and 10 points remaining. Take T3 and L3 (even point swap). Drop F2 to F1 which allows A3. (Air boosters with Ring of wizardry, which you should have no trouble forging with national mages + astral boosters).

Note, since you don't need astral or blood on your pretender for *any* reason, the master druid is a far better pretender choice for you - it'll make E4 relatively cheaper, and allow you to avoid investing in magic paths your pretender doesn't need to provide.
