Pricing of Mages ... is it balanced?

Both Tien standard and Tien S&A mages cost 250 gold, but the S&A mage gets TWO randoms AND a strat-3 flying movement! And this is a Good Thing. (Bad would be: if they cost more, or the standard CM cost less.)

btw, I think that S&A CMs are great, my favorite mage in the game bar none, and with good gear, they can cast almost any spell in the game. I love them.

not quite .
i think Cheezeninja was quite clear . an cm has S1** that means he can be killed too easy by mind duel . they don't get good / high enough randoms for good conjuration forging easy too .

so i think pretty true against ryleh , arco + pythium the cm might suck extreme .
