If I'm not mistaken, all non-unique Air boosters are either A4, F4W4, or S6. Those are all pretty expensive for arrow fend. So it seems like a pretender, nature summon or indy are your only options. What am I missing? (I love the idea of protecting my hydras' hides from the pesky, pinpricks of piddling archers, but...)

I don't know about boosters, but Arrow Fend is A3, 100 fatigue. It seems logical to throw together a 3-man Communion and burn an extra Air Gem. 2 slaves, 1 master with A1, boosts the master to A2 whereupon you can cast Arrow Fend. A staff of storms would be better (one A1 mage can cast Summon Storm Power to boost himself to A2 without a communion, plus Storms also impair missile fire automatically) but requires A4 to forge, which you've sort of ruled out already. However, it WOULD let you boost all of your Air mages. Combine the two approaches and you can have A3 without burning any gems, which means Thunderstrike is castable.
