Mixed. Mixed. The problem is that they are a bit weak with the disciplines before they get their powers. But they are very quick to reach their powers, as the three abilities they use (Body, Mind, Spirit) are *abilities* and not affinities or traditions or grimoires. Very, very, VERY quick to go up compared to the other magician types.
Lo Hung Mung reached his 10w2 in them in very short order but was rather helpless until he reached a high level in them. After that he was nigh-invulnerable... or at least close enough to be a wee bit on the spooky side. In the Otherworld he was in a bit of a bind but then he never went there, not believing in entangling himself so.
