Everyone who has tried the chayot, the supposed alternative to mighty seraph, knows she doesn't really hold the candle because of scripting issues. Chayot is lvl 4 mage in 4 different paths but can only use one path at a time in controlled manner, which is less than optimal. However, I was toying around today and stumbled into this not-seen-before-trick (I hope) while trying to make chayot worth the pearls.
Behold the unlimited power!
With RoW our precious chayot gains some extreme power boost, because now one can use spells from all the four paths available in the same battle (including crosspath spells) and imagine what this does to chayots forging capabilities.
Equip her with, say, staff of elemental mastery/astral skullcap/rainbow armor/boots of messenger/amulet of reinvigoration/RoW (of course) and you have more or less the most powerful battlemage ever who is
very close to being S6A6F6E6 mage for all intents all purposes. Just for kicks, start your script with power of the spheres for additional +1 to every path.
So if you have the astral economy capable of using wish, give chayot a whirl, she will rock you. Alternatively if playing Ashdod, cast their capstone national spells "call merkavah", and I guarantee nothing is more entertaining to watch than ophanim rolling over all oppostion while the chayot collapses the universe from the back lines.
Chayot: Not so bad afterall
