I've been looking over the Aspected Magician priority gen, and to be honest they are truly suffering.

I mean, you're an Aspected magician, you're already underpowered.

So if you have to be magic and you've only got priority D to throw at it then maybe it's workable, but beyond that...

At priority C you can either get an apected magician at magic 3 with 2 points (15 karma) in a magic skill group... or be a full magician or mystic adept with magic 3 and 5 spells (25 karma). Oh, and Adepts get more magic than them.

Come on! Aspected Magicians are already getting outclassed by the full magician or mystic adept in flexibility without giving the full casters MORE karma worth of benefits at the same priority.

Priority B isn't much better. An Aspected Magician gets 5 magic (to the Adept's 6, in spite of this being the highest priority for both of them) and a rating 4 skill group (50 karma). Mystic adept and full Magician? Magic 4, but 2 rating 4 magical skills (40 karma) AND 7 spells (35 karma).

I mean seriously? Aspected Magicians only get one type of magical skill, at least let them be good at it!
