Well that was the old trick, and it worked decently. However, every Sorceror with a Fetish, becomes highly unreliable in combat, due to mounting Afflictions, and can spend significant amounts of time Mute or Feebleminded, not even contributing to Research. To top that off, you are limited to 1/turn ever.

With this guide, the intent is to do 2-3 or more per turn, until you are swimming in Fire gems. Once you've already begun to employ the cheaper Fetish carriers, it just seems best to put all of your Fetishes onto them, and allow your Sorcerors to remain pristine for other uses.
