I'd like a change in Tien S&A starting spell

[Jasper]

Cloud Trapeze is thematically appropriate, but probably a bad idea.

In a game with known starting positions (victory points, etc) you could teleport a strong Combat Pretender to another's home province, for potentially huge gain in gold and a strong chance to put them out of the game.

I agree that Tien Chi definitely needs something, I'm just not sure what it would be short of drastic changes.
