Interesting about this magma eruption thing. Since I have never played Vanheim before (but I have played Ulm), I didn't even know that Van could recruit the smiths! But these Van smiths are different than those Ulm smiths in two ways:
1. They get no forge bonus.
2. They come with 3 earth and 1 random.

I therefore discovered that magma bolts and magma eruptions just ain't gonna cut it for the Van smiths, as only 1/8 of the dudes get the fire random. But the 3 earth means bladewinds galore, even without the summon earthpower spell or the earth boots!

Anyway, I have always thought from my previous Ulm experience that magma eruption is a superior spell for the most part over bladewinds.
