Petrify is totally useless if you can't spam it. Earth attack also isn't very good without being able to put national mages on it.

So either a new earth booster is needed, or the path requirements of these spells need to come down 1 each (minimum). Arguably, petrify was too hard to cast even with blood stone.
Weapons of sharpness and army of gold is just E4. So any e2 mage gets there easily. I guess petrify, army of lead and earth attack could be lowered to e4 if there´s no new booster.

I still maintain that the removal of gemgens, including bloodstones, is a relative boost to strong earth nations.
