Just an observation, mind you, but do Enchanter adepts _need_ to be
balanced against other adepts? The other adepts have a decidedly
foreground role in the game mechanic, but enchanters are somewhat less so.
While you could have an astral combat monster who just happened to work on
talismans on the side, I tend to see enchanters as having a different
focus than the rest. Vastly.

'Course, that's not to say I wouldn't do the same thing por a PC who
wanted to play an enchanter... They might get kinda bored otherwise.
