While it would make sense, I don't think that would be too thematic (at least in my opinion). To me Machaka is something about Sorcerers and spiders, and without them the rest is crap.

If there would a spell like flaming arrows which would make regular arrows poison arrows, then yes, that I would love to see.

Barring any of these, perhaps just giving machaka a national version of flaming arrows at one level lower in the research tree? But this really feels like a kludge

I agree with that. Unless it had some limited area (like AoE 20 for example) too, but I don't know if it is possible to make such a spell.
