But going to try a W1A1N4 Wyrm, with my eyes on some heavy Naiad warriors summoning once I get Conjuration 5. I believe that with a slight N4 bless they might be more cost effective in an MP game then the Sea trolls. That is ofcourse highly situational

Naiad warriors are not summoned in greater numbers by a more skilled mage, so you'd probably be best off summoning them with a slave mage, not your pretender. Naiad warriors are also not sacred.
Putting N4 on your wyrm thus doesn't provide you with very much benefit besides earlier access to a thistle mace as the wyrm already has regeneration and lacks protection. You also don't leave yourself with any cushion should he get killed when you only have W1 and A1. He also misses out on mistform which is very useful for him, while mirror images are not particularly good for a low defense unit. Without reinvigoration items and at the minimum skills to cast buffs he gets fatigued very quickly. The benefit of earth magic is that he can forge earth boots for a land-dwelling slave mage, has earthpower so that you only need one reinvigoration item to keep him fighting indefinitely while quickened, and can cast protection spells so that he rarely takes large hits.
