Re: Boosting Fire.
Thistle maces get you from N2->N3, but the battlefield boost +1 (Strength of Gaia?) takes N3E1 and Conj-5 IIRC. F2 can boost just by casting Phoenix Power. The next Nature boost takes either N4 for Treelord's staff (not usable with Thistle Mace) or Astral magic for the Moonvine Bracelect. Depending on your nation that can be harder than F/D for Flaming Skulls.
My real point is that there's little point in talking about how hard it is to boost a certain path except in the context of a particular nation. Some paths (water and Earth) are usually easy to boost once you have a little (W1 -> W3 is easy, E2 -> E4 on the battlefield is easy) but it's difficult to say which are "hard". For astral nations *nothing* is hard to boost.
