A real blessing for Ulm is to find some Druids for Poison Ward, or better Shamans, who also allow Communions (with a Matrix for a Smith). A Smith with Boots and Fire Helmet + 2 comm slaves is F4/E5 after Summon EP and Phoenix Power, rather powerful ...
Do you really need the Shaman for the Communion? Once you've got a forger with Astral and Earth, just give him a Hammer and pump out the Slave/Crystal Matrices...

This is one thing I like in Iron Faith Ulm: your forgers get a random pick, which with your forging powers, greatly improves your magic versatility. If only they didn't lose their Drain immunity...

Ulm generally can't mass produce Slave matrix, and it's a waste to use Smiths as slaves, I'd much prefer to get indy Astral-1 mage

"IF Forging power" ??? I believed that Iron Faith doesn't have forging bonuses (it has no Smiths) ...
