Re: Short list and exploits
I admit earth & fire booster spells are better than air booster spell but water & nature booster spells certainly are not. Astral booster spell is great if you have a lot of mages on the battlefield, otherwise it sucks.
About the tangle between storm/flight/archery: air magic does not equal Caelum, although the birdmen certainly are powerful in it. Nations like Vanheim, Fomoria & Tir na Nog are top notch air users as well and they don't have any of that flight/archery nonsense.
Anyway, I find this discussion about air magic interesting and will start own thread for it soonishly. I will write my own thoughts into guide of sorts and hopefully the discussion will continue there.
