Ulm, Flying shards/ summon earthpower, hold hold, blade wind. Blade wind up close is very likely to kill every fh that gets in your way.

Bladewind has 80 fatigue . So a mastersmith can cast it twice and after this he is unconscious for some rounds .
He even can damage own troops with the bladewind .
Do you ever try playing something before giving your 'expert' opinion?

First - bladewind tends to do very minimal damage to Ulm's national troops. (Never mind that almost _ANY_ area of effect spell can damage friendly troops, exceptions being cold spells with Jotunheim/Caelum, Fire with Abysia, and poison with undead nations.)

Second - Ulm forges things _cheap_. Mastersmiths that aren't forging / researching / casting are usually going to have earth boots. With Summon Earthpower, Bladewind then costs 40 (plus encumbrance). Three casts, and very quickly a 4th, because of fatigue recovery every turn.

Last, did you notice that he scripted Bladewind for the fifth spell? IE, it's probably going to nail all the gathered false horrors in a group. And could actually probably cast it as the 4th and 5th spells actually, since he'll still be conscious after 2 bladewinds.
