 The best counter for Astral is essentially Astral itself. The spell ??Magic Duel?? creates a unique dynamic around Astral Magic, in which nations with Astral Mages and [[gems|Pearls]] to spare can choke out nations with fewer Astral Mages and/or levels. Quite a few otherwise-decent Mages are very dangerous to use against Astral nations due to their levels of Astral Magic. Conversely, even pathetic Astral Mages provide cover against ??Mind Hunt??, a ritual that otherwise allows high-Astral nations to snipe their neighbors from several provinces away. The best counter for Astral is essentially Astral itself.
