Are civmages (and fighters for that matter) so forgotten that no wiz even wants
his/her name near us? Also, no civmage trainers on other continents?

As for some ideas, if not essences, that gorge suggested probably a year ago
now. Maybe some of those extra fun nav spells that mages get? I know we get
heavy weight (and word of recall maybe), but maybe relocate and/or summon, at
least one? would be a nice little bonus even if it was only in the higher
levels.
