Augur Elders have 2F1S2D + 110% FASD, so they can get up to 4D, and can be 3D easily. Ermor will have trouble forging Rings of Sorcery without Pretender help (only 2S randoms reliably, and Starshine Skullcap but not Crystal Coin), so unless they win the artifacts race their best bet for high D is to go through Enchantment to summon demi-liches (3D Augur Elder forges skull staff, use staff to forge skullface to get to 5D, give staff and skullface to demilich to get 6D). May need to empower a lich to get 7D for tartarians, or else empower a 3S Augur Elder to 4S (45 pearls) so he can use a starshine skullcap to forge a Ring of Wizardry. Not prohibitively expensive.

As far as battle magic goes, though, you're probably fine just sticking to 3D or 4D (with staff), which is plenty to cast Rigor Mortis or Plague or Wailing Winds or Wind of Death.
