To help inform us on how magically powerful to make the Seigu, as well as how much it should cost, I've gone and compared all the top mages from the Middle Era and determined things like Average Gold Cost, Average Upkeep, Average Highest Path, Average Total Paths, and Average Cost Per Path. These are further broken down between cap-only mages and recruit-anywhere mages. The overall numbers are the following:

Average Gold Cost = 296.3
Average Max Path = 3.4
Average Total Paths = 6.3
Average Cost Per Path = 47


Therefore the latest 7-path Seigu should cost 329 => 330gp and it'll be in-line with the cost of its peers.
I've done some similiar - though far more limited in scope - research for top tier mages and there it seemed that comparing those exclusively most of the time holy levels did very little to the cost. I wonder what kind of results we'd see if we did the same with ignoring holy levels (and actually it'd be interesting to see the standard deviation too)

Maybe I'll do that for your data tomorrow, I don't know. Thanks anyway, this'll be of great use for UnitGen when figuring what kind of paths to generate and how to price mages.
