Blood Nations are the ones that probably need the *least* boosting. They've already got numerous summons, specialty spells, even their own line of forging. Added to that, most of the Blood Nations are already powerful, diverse, and interesting. If anything needs a spell that can take out high HP units, it's probably Abyssia/Fire.
Fire's likely the weakest magic path, anyway.

i concur, i can't think of a blood nation which can't battle it out with the big guys. Lanka's an absolute powerhouse, mictlan is like the king of bless and can simply swarm SC's with blessed eagle warriors from there various fortifications scattered around (eagle warriors aren't cap only in MA, guessing it's the same for other ages), Gath i'm afraid ARE the big guys...anything i've missed?
fire being perhaps the weakest path (with the exception of the pheonix pyre spell) which most of it's stuff has a cold equivalent (as well as water magic having a load of buffs and stuff making it better than fire), mind you they already have the inferno.
to be fair i think every path has atleast one spell more than capable of taking down SCs or atleast a spell to give you an SC to face off the other in 1 on 1 mortal combat or 2 on 1 if you can gather the gems.
lets make a list
astral - soul slay
water - claws of kokytos
fire - the inferno (what's the real name of the spell again?)
nature - just send some mages behind a few tarrasques to buff them
death - tartarians
earth - same as nature but iron dragons instead of tarrasques
air - actually a little more lacking but has some nice buffs to combine with other paths to take down SC's
Blood - send horrors at the SC, horrors happen to horror mark with their attacks so the strength of the horrormark will get stronger and stronger untill a doom horror wipes him out.
any other ideas, particularly for air?
