2) YES! Astarra/Conjurer happens to be my favorite hero/class combination in the game for this reason. She is a fast mage with high willpower, potential for good defensive capabilities with the images, and can attack at long range using channeling and refraction. With the right gear, that is a powerful hero that's just plain fun to play with all of the options.

I now play campaign as an OL, and one of the heroes - Astarra-Conjurer. She can move now 23 spaces. 23, Carl!!

23?

Move action (4), move action (4), fatigue a bunch(4), summon free image, fatigue once more and move it with illusory path, jump to far side with that MP (4). I count 16. I could see one more with "sleight of mind" instead of a move action.

How is this hero moving 23?

She has elven boots, and some more stuff increasing stamina and etc. I do not remember exactly, but she does...

Slight of Mind could get you five more, and be used twice during Asterra's turn.
