I though that IF Ulm could forge Ring of Lighting easily once they have the gem income, and same goes for Lead Shield and even Antimagic Amulet, IIRC right - and even those are only needed against nations who have Air/Astral. Well, I think Nature has sleep too, but in the early game mr isn't that important and later there are lots of items that help. And in their own dominion the drain would give black templars one more mr automatically.
