Two words: Astral Weapon.
Cha! You know as well as anyone that no sane person puts Sorcery on a non-immortal pretender, unless perhaps they put an obscene (8-10) amount on.
Therefor, only immortal pretenders and a few others are going to commonly be able to use Astral Weapon, and let's see - the Phoenix can't use a weapon, the monolith, Baphomet, and Shedu have no hands (and no attack for the first two - lot of good Astral Weapon does them  ). So generally speaking - only the liches, bog mummie, and VQ might realistically be seen with Astral Weapon.
Oh, wait! The Great Enchantress maybe, since she starts with Astral magic? I can just see her going into melee combat.
(Well, actually, I did just see one do that, and my Jonin wasted her after dealing with her troll bodyguards. So much for S4 and whatnot.  )
