nature and something i think ( i had a summoner with 30 summoning skill with chalice ) my favourite trick is to gift of reason and empower a vastness and give him a mix of void summons and rlyeh , or something i would like to try is void gate with a wish factory

Captured Arco Priestesses with water breathing equipment (or Arco Priestesses supporting an astral mage with a captured Void Gate....), while not quite as effective as The Chalice, are non-unique, have some of the same effects, and can usually be gotten with much less research and gem burn than The Chalice, AND aren't as subject to being "stolen" as The Chalice is.

I reckon rushing to Construction 8 and forging the Chalice is not a lot harder (if at all) than capturing an Arco priestess. First you have to find Arco - if you're in a full MP game they could be several nations away from you. Then you have to capture a priestess - I presume this is by some kind of Enslavement spell (I've never used one), since you can't use a succubus to do it. Ok so the spell might be easier to research than Con8, but successfully casting it on a priestess (who then survives the battle) is probably tricky.

Anyone who's done it care to tell us how easy it was?
