I didn't see the "Disadvantages" as "Weaknesses" I saw it as, "Why it sucks to be part of this faction" And training for 25 years in order to protect people for another 50 with little chance of surviving just to get the chance to be a parent sucks imo.Edit: Also, the magic rules established that all magic users need to "connect" with one of the gods. I just meant that none of them were getting their weird visions from other gods

Not all magic users need a direct connection. It is just one method of enhancement.
Having a short lived race with very potent magic doesn't fit the lore really. 
I like the idea of the character and I trust you to RP it responsibly and not OP'd but I'm just wondering of how well it fits into the setting is all.
