Re: Father Illearth/Lord of Banefire - why?
Remember that you don't need BBBBEEE, only EE with Earth boots (EE mage can forge) and that there are many blood-enchancing items in there... Brazen Vessel and Blood thorn come to mind (20 slaves each. There is more expensive Armor of the souls (40 slaves) that also raises the blood mage's power. With those items, you only need EEBB on a mage for summon, and a mage with BBB to forge those empowering items. Also, when you remember that Blood and Earth can forge the before-mentioned Blood Stone, one earth is enough. So in fact, you need a mage with two blood and one earth, plus a blood mage. Or then any mage with EB and some 30 slaves for empowering.
Sure, that is lots of work, but only 110 slaves, and any that are needed to summon your Father Illearth. As you will propably want to give him a shield, he can use Blood Thorn as a one-handed life-draining weapon.
Anthrax is much harder, but can be done. Besides, have you seen that DF skull that boosts fire magic by one? It's awesome!
Hupsistakeikkaa, this became quite a long post...
In short: in fact it is not that hard to take EB -mage to EEEBBBB needed to summon Father Illearth, if you already have a blood mage.
