Quick FYI (before the above point is used in any argument for or against anything)...

You can not use extra slaves to temporarily increase one casting level on the battlefiled in the same way you can use extra gems to do this. So for example, while a S2 mage can be giving 2 Pearls and will use them both to successfully cast Antimagic, you can not give 2 slaves to a B2 mage and expect him to cast Life for Life, as he can not use a slave to temporarily boost himself to the B3 needed to successfully cast this spell. As such a base B2W1 mage still won't be able to cast Claws without some form of help (booster, communion, whatever). So CBM has not changed the minimum base requirements for Claws in this sense. (ie. In both vanilla and CBM.1.92 you need a base B3W1 mage if no path boosting is involved)

Carry on.
