Atlantis has the S2 Deep Seers, Jotunheim can pull S mages from the multiple sorcery randoms on the big hags in IW and Niefel, and they have S2 Nornas in Utgard.

You're right about Caelum, though. With only the possibility of an S random on a High Seraph, they're not really very innately astral.

you are right

but i meant that they can reach astral 3 without empowering / item forging
you can give your pretender 3 + astral no matter what race you play . but normally you have better things to do with your pretender
starshine skullcap : con 6 , 2A
crystal coin : con 4 , but 2E,2A so hard to forge
these 2 are the only easy options i see so far (perhaps i overlooked one ) to increase astral skill quickly .
if you have S2 , S is either ADNB right ?
so you have with S2 only 1/16 chance of getting astral 2.

i dunno which race can easily forge the crystal coins .
for the starshine cap you need to research con 6 first which needs some time especially at difficult/very difficult research and you don't get good benefits other than the items .

while pythium on the other hand is the best accashic race of all i think . + they have even 1 water income + 2 air .

small question: where can i see if the random magic skill is a sorcery or if i get only elemental or all ?

with the arch theurgs you can accashic
if you are lucky you can even get a w2 for clam forging .

normally when you have researched accashic with pythium and saved your astral gems you can immediately cast 2-4 accashics depending on settings and then hopefully you have enough income to cast one every 2 additional turns

so in this aspect they have really an advantage over every other nation ihmo
