If you're using Magery as a model, 15 points is a bit more convenient for bookkeeping. Are there some perks built in that I'm missing??

To be honest that was just a more or less random number. I tried to estimate the cost in a similar way to how it was done for Sorcery but skipping the fatigue cost and the reduced time parts. I'll need to re-do the points completely.

Magery works like a talent. Warjack Binding is used as an alternate ability just like sorcery.

A variant of Born War Leader which just affects skills to command bound Warjacks in battle seems fair. Limited versions of Artificer for all three types of mages seem very genre appropriate.

where is Born War Leader from? I'm unaware of any ability by that name...

Artificer sounds interesting 🤔 I'll take a closer look at that.
[EDIT]checked Artificer it's a Talent. I really do not need a Talent as there are no skills to enhance.[/EDIT]

Thanks!
