Surfacing briefly because it's been a hot minute.
Played through Aeon's End: Legacy with my friend Dan in two weekends flat. That was a LOT of fun, and made for us two custom, unique breach magi that we can use in (re-)playing the New Age box and then the Outcasts campaign.
All in all, loved it. Tempted to do a custom box to hold our magi. Planning an expedition for the two of us for the next time we get to play.

It's a fair point - I have no idea how they'll play out, and really can't unless I play a two-handed game or two, which is something I dislike (when I play solo, which is relatively often, I play the True Solo rules that make the player their own ally- which can make some cards and mages, including my dedicated support Legacy mage, wildly busted powerful).
I'm willing to play with it and see, though, frankly. If they're too strong, we can pare back bits of their legacy abilities.
@Vidyala Four different mages in the box and the player mats are double sided (male and female body for each of the four). You start the game with 4xCrystal+Spark twice and only Breaches I, II, III (3-breach doesn't have +1 damage).
You get to create either a Gem or Spell of your own, with four options for effects on either, and then later can add a second effect (my spell, "Innervate", was "Focus any player's breach" and then "& you gain a charge").
@Vidyala
Later you get an ability (choose from one of eight options) and then later can add a kicker to it (again from one of eight options). You get a fourth breach (classic +1 damage) and you get equipment (static abilities you can have, like the Tier 3 Treasures from New Age) and can add a kicker to your equipment.
Finally, you can either choose to go with a 3-crystal 2-spark mage or a 1-spark 4-crystal mage. Those alter the starting positions of your breaches.
