Pretty much this and evil conjurers have probably the toughest time doing anything solo/tanky until near hero of any mage, including transmuters (and maybe, maybe excluding invokers).

Don't get me wrong, evil conjurers can be wrecking balls in some limited circumstances but at the same time, they're the easiest I find to deal with of all the 'power houses'. They're almost never ready to be raided, because of falling timers, which makes them pretty bad at cabal defenses. Once you can repeatedly kill a nightgaunt or at least avoid it or bypass it by wording to another continent - that factor goes away, in which case they are only really dangerous for 20 minutes every 1-1.5 hours.

If anything, things like murderous reputation and other edges are unnecessary and too unbalancing - but at their core evil conjies are no where near RBWs.
