[Norfleet]

Always go all out with the Turmoil-3 and Sloth-3. Your income is nonexistent anyway. Just make up the difference by cranking taxes to 200. They'll all die anyway. Free +240.

Cold-3 or Heat-3 are both valid options: If you're playing in multiplayer, consider whether the bulk of the other human players favor heat or cold, and which one will make them suffer more: When fighting Caelum or Jotunheim, go with Heat. When fighting normal or miasma C'tis, Abyssia, or Machaka, go with Cold. Otherwise, go with Cold, it helps your undead cold auras. Other than the few cold aura equipped, however, the undead are more or less entirely indifferent to the heat or cold....so pick one for the free +120.

Death-3. Ashen Empire requires only Death-2, but in for a penny, in for a pound. +40 more points free.

Luck can go either way, or neither way: If you have the points to spare after taking the magic you want, luck 3 doesn't hurt: A wodge of gems here and there. On the other hand, misfortune won't kill you either: "Oh, no, I just lost 1/4th of my zero population! Whatever will I do?"

Magic can go either way or neither way: Drain nets you a free +120 and slightly impedes the efforts of enemy priests to banish your undead by increasing their MR. Hurts your research rather hard. Magic helps your researchers, which are subpar as it is, but makes your undead slightly more banishable. It'll also improve the quality of random events you get if you take Luck. Which way you go is entirely dependent on your point supply. If you can spare it, go for it.
