Plus there is no gem equivalent to forge items with, so you'd have to balance any such item around another path of magic.
It seems to me that the all-path boosters should affect holy also.

Anybody use Stone Idol to reduce enemy dominion? It works like "Holy Negator" - erase all dominions (slowly, sure...but unstoppable)
Hmmm, I had no idea that Crystal Shields boost Holy as well. I ought to build them more often then :)

As far as I know, crystal shield will only boost holy if the commander has additional magic paths.

That's fine, because Arco is my favorite nation, and their priestesses do have the measly Nature 1 :)

Well, just use mage-priests ;) Not as primary commander (they are too old and rarely have high leadership), but as second. Also you can give them some artifacts like Herald Lance (bonus - Standart) or Cauldron/Summer sword (supplies)

Keep the shields high encumbrance in mind. Not a big deal if you just want a divine bless, but if you're spamming smites or banishment they'll tire a lot faster.

I'm not sure whether the extra AoE and damage outweigh getting fatigued out sooner.

I tend to defend my casters well with body guards and often opt for high Earth bless for that reason :) (I tend to double max bless Astral and Earth, with minimum Nature required for regeneration).

Artefacts with ability to cure fatique. And - you right - overpowered monks are usable for blessing, not for combat. Smite is mighty spell, but there are tons of spells with more deadly effects

Holy spells don't have a fatigue cost. At least I don't think they do.
