I'd argue that it is even better than that. I strongly suspect that High Magic benefits from a form of synergy such that were you to take all the winds of magic and use them for a high magic spell and do the same for mono wind spells via 8 spellcasters, the high magic would have a higher value. Of course, this would be all but impossible to test, as I strongly doubt that Elven High mages are willing to use it so we can write papers on the subject. Quite selfish of them, really.

So you could add Chamon, Hysh, Ghur or Azyr to spells targeting armoured foes, demons, beasts or flying foes. Or put a Shysh effect in your fire battle magic spells to terrify the ennemies, heal with a combination of Hysh and Ghyran, buff with a mix of Chamon, Hysh and Ghyran to have better armor, move faster and be more endurant, ... It's good High Magic is balanced in the tabletop and Total War😏

Agreed with both points. It won't break my heart if Marienburg's attempted monopoly-preserving economic extortion results in a more violent reunion - if you fuck around, be prepared to find out it wasn't actually smart to do that. But as far as ideal outcomes go a peaceful reunification would almost certainly be much better.
And I only qualify that as "almost" certainly because if Marienburg is retaken by force after a casus bellum provided by Marienburg, IMO that's a sufficiently-plausible excuse to confiscate an appreciable portion of the Directorate's wealth. Which would be a major boon to the Imperial treasury that could buy a lot of defenses and/or progress, and I will literally never cry for the super-rich losing a portion of their wealth to finance things that can benefit everybody.
I saw a take from someone on this that I quite liked. To wit: a Chaos attack aimed at disrupting Waystones research isn't a problem. It's an opportunity for a combined force of elves, dwarves, Imperial Wizards, and whatever Kislev fields to kick Chaos's dick off. Don't think of the Fire Spire as a tower. Think of it as an enormous middle finger to Chaos that we can live in.

Living in the Fire Spire also means having the ability to write papers on the invading Chaos gribblies before any others, an important factor that will prove its worth once the Evermammoth arrives and we get papers on it published.

I kinda doubt we'd be working in the actual Fire Spire, though.
It's cursed.
(Well, I mean, literally all of Pragg is cursed*, but the Fire Spire has the whole "none who enter return" thing going on)
*I think it's fair to say that when main street has to be cleaned every morning from the blood that welled up from the cobblestones

I concur. Without having seen the update in which we find out more, my preliminary ranking is K8P > Grey College > Laurelorn > Everything Else. But the primary attraction of Praag to me that might cause me to go for it in the final vote isn't "ice witches" and "Karak Vlag," it's that building your multinational Fuck Chaos crew in a city that Chaos recently soaked in blood and corruption is objectively very funny. It has the largest "turning your back on the battlefield so you can moon the enemy" factor, and that's not nothing.
They go sulk in their tents? I don't know what this means.

He disguised himself as a girl for a bit.
Kinda doubt that it'd work in this case- the only native magic traditions in Kislev are the Ice Witches and Ungol Hags, so it'd only be possible for visiting College wizards.

Teclis looks both ways outside of his room
"Help, I'm being abducted"
"Now, quick, let's leave before they actually send help."
Teclis has the great advantage of being able to respond to being told to leave with "make me".

Update suggested otherwise:
Sure, it might be a bit of a fixer-upper, but our project should have both means and motivation for cleansing the Fire Spire that the magic users of Kislev lack. Hysh is good for this kind of thing and we'll likely be aiming to involve the Light College anyway, and we can personally attest to how effective dwarven runework can be at warding off or cleansing Dhar. It's true that Kislev might have been able to source something like that themselves, but the Ice Witches never cared for the original Fire Spire and IIRC have canonically literally never tried to do anything to cleanse it because they don't care, and while the Hag Witches have some anti-Chaos spells they also don't fuck around with cities in the first place. I think being the ones to rehabilitate the Fire Spire would be very viable, and it appears as if Mathilde does as well.

Yes, but I don't think Mathilde knows much about the Fire Spire other than "that's where there were some wizards studying before the Great War, right?".

"Your brother's in trouble again."
"Dammit, Tyrion! *leaves*"
"Told you it'd work."
Teclis is an elf, and so I don't see he'd be a matter of concern to them. No more than Kragg, anyway.
Besides, it's also not like they're incapable of working with male mages. We had a few on the expedition, and they weren't spontaneously murdered. I'd say it' similar to the "foreign mages can't work for the colleges, but they can work with them": A bit of trickery making use of technicalities and lot of looking somewhere else, because the strict reading leads to nasty diplomatic incidents, and nobody is all that eager for it, but some might if the alternative is an unacceptable precedent. We shouldn't bring Max or Johann to work with us there, because having male wizards constantly hanging around gives people ideas like "Maybe I can actually use magic without inevitably falling to corruption", which the ice witches are not ok with. On the other hand, it's (relatively) well known that elfs play by different rules, so having Teclis around isn't a threat to the status quo the same way.
