Is there an incongruous distribution of magic?

Sure. Anyone can use a Communion or a Sabbath to make up for weak magic, and some nations even get those options on recruitables. What's your point?

Setting up a Sabbath is difficult and easy to foil, and costs blood slaves, and its not going to help 99 out of 100 castings of spells you need to cast over the course of the game. Even implying that it makes up for weak magic is baffling to me.
