I guess you mean Broken & not Ashen.

The mages are far from cheap, only 1 in 8 of the higher class will roll astral 3.

Every R'lyeh top mage starts with astral 3, and can roll up to 5 with random picks. Arco & Pythium start with astral 3 mages that can roll astral 4.

Jotun can roll astral 3 in 1/4 nornas (only sorcery random picks).

All the above nations will Magic duel your Broken Empire mages to nothingess, so you either field no mages or lose them all. Unlike, say Marignon, Abysia or Midgard Vanheim who can choose to field their other (non astral) mages.

And your mages are expensive due to their unholy skill, you cannot afford to throw them away as Jotun can do with the Seithkonur.

Broken Empire looks very weak & narrow magically to me.

Cheers,
Pepe
