You don't believe there are Magic scales, or you don't believe there are Spellsingers?

innate spellcasters are better than spellsingers and there are multiple pretenders with innate spellcaster.

Spellsinger causes 50% less spellcasting fatigue with the tradeoff that it takes 50% longer to cast spells.

Innate spellcasters cast all spells at the same rate - 1 spell per combat round. Even powerful spells that would take mere mortals multiple rounds to cast. On top of that, innate spellcasters can move or attack on the same round they cast a spell.

You usually find it at the top tier of pretenders, immobiles like statues and monoliths and such. However there are a few pretenders that are mobile and have innate spellcaster.

Bronze Colossus
Wooden Colossus
Colossal Fetish

All have a full set of equipment slots and can move around, and have innate spellcaster. They are all also mindless, meaning they can't be killed with mind burn or soul slay and are immune to horrors.

If for whatever reason you're attached to the idea of a spellsinger pretender, the Great Sorceress (standard human pretender) and the Morgen High Queen who is a unique pretender for Ys both have it.

I'm not against a monster pretender with spellsinger but I wouldn't want my spells taking 50% longer. You don't notice it much on weak mages casting the low level spells, but once you reach the high level magic they come with long cast times to begin with. It would be quite the tradeoff for a pretender.

It's not possible--at least based on the unit searching I did--for this army to include a spellsinger, using unmodded units.

Well, of course. Part of the unique-ness of certain factions is that they have access to certain units that other nations do not. :)

Come to think of it, I think it'd make sense if Sirens had spellsinging. If that change were made, it would fill this void.

Vast majority of factions don't have spell singers, that's normal?

Mm, debatable. Sirens don't sing to cast spells, they sing to kill commanders. ;)
