You don't need any new classes or 'spells', so everything that is already balanced stays balanced.As well as changing the narrative, it means that they can't be neutralised by binding and gagging them and their spells can't be counterspelled. This immediately makes them more powerful. To compensate this, I would give them vulnerability to psychic damage.I haven't tested this idea, I'm just theorycrafting.</blockquote>
