About RAF

[pjdell]

For any character to get bonus xp that character has to be linked via raf, either as a veteran or a recruit, to at least 1 other character OF SIMILAR LEVEL.

So in your case if you recruited two from the pallys account, those 2 characters would not be able to get xp bonus while powerleveling because your pally is more than I believe its 4 levels higher than the recruits. If instead you recruited 1 account with the pally and then used that recruited account to recruit another, there would then be a link between the two similar leveled characters and you get the bonus. The problem with that is you don't get as many grantable levels to your original account, but that might not matter to you.

If you are looking for 5 mages as a team, I think it seems like it would be most effective to recruit 3 accounts with the pally account, create a mage on each as well as the pally account... and then use your mage account to PL them. Then you don't have to transfer anything.
