True, but would it have been that much of an issue for them to include the 3 or 4 cards so all the books could have been built in preparation for play? Or at least added those last few needed spell to the Core Spell Tome?For experienced players it's no big deal. But the shorter the setup time, the easier it is to intro the game to new players. Giving them the choice of any of the four mages without having to tear apart one mage's starting book to build another's starting book will greatly shorten that setup time.
