If you want to keep your original idea - high scales and dominion with no magic - you could lower your dominion and growth a bit and take atleast neutral magic as well. If you need, you could take unluck, as all your other scales are positive. Well, Heat might give droughts, but negative luck is not as bad for you as for most others.

Machaka has access to so many different magics even without randoms that it is a shame to not use them, even if it would work. And they have some cheap mages that are really boosted with magic scale.

One of the really nice things about Machaka is that you have a lot of flexibility in terms of magic. I'd have to second tinkthank's recommendation of magma eruption - it can really put enemies in a world of hurt.

However, I also like the Conjuration path for Machaka. Conj 3 gives you summon earthpower and phoenix power (+1 earth and fire respectively), and higher levels provide lots of nasty summons to strengthen your armies. I particularly like the commander summons, e.g. bane lord, as Machakan mages can forge all sorts of gear to turn them into killing machines.

Each priest still has only a 40% chance to raise dominion. Two priests will give you two independent priest checks. This means that the overall chance to increase your dominion will be 1-((1-0.4)^2) or 64%.
