		Meh, don't like MA TC.  They aren't bad or anything, but EA TC and LA TC are so much more awesome that I always feel gimped with MA TC.   
 
As for getting astral, the only definitely works thing is summoning Spectres.  And that's way too expensive and produces a too crappy mage to do a lot of.  If you take Magic 3 scales and luck, a S3 stealthy mage may join you.  If you also take Order and Heat and have good earth income, Hidden in Sand is worth repeated castings.  A strong blood nation also has a shot at one ice devil and one arch devil with astral, but they're uniques.
