 Not just like a fever fetish; to cascade fever fetishes, you have a 25-turn break-even (ignoring such costs as a ring of Regeneration to maintain your scouts (or the scout's maintenence costs), or summoning black servants to carry them without penalty) via alchemy - 25 Fire -> 10 Astral, 5 Fire -> 5 Nature, 5 Fire; with clams as they stand, it's a 20 turn break-even: 20 Astral -> 10 Water; 5 Water, 5 Astral would reduce the break-even time to 15 turns - 15 Astral -> 5 Water, 5 Astral, and thus increase it's attractiveness.
