No love for Holy??

Plus there is no gem equivalent to forge items with, so you'd have to balance any such item around another path of magic.

It seems to me that the all-path boosters should affect holy also.

Anybody use Stone Idol to reduce enemy dominion? It works like "Holy Negator" - erase all dominions (slowly, sure...but unstoppable)

Hmmm, I had no idea that Crystal Shields boost Holy as well. I ought to build them more often then

As far as I know, crystal shield will only boost holy if the commander has additional magic paths.

That's fine, because Arco is my favorite nation, and their priestesses do have the measly Nature 1

Well, just use mage-priests Not as primary commander (they are too old and rarely have high leadership), but as second. Also you can give them some artifacts like Herald Lance (bonus - Standart) or Cauldron/Summer sword (supplies)

Keep the shields high encumbrance in mind. Not a big deal if you just want a divine bless, but if you're spamming smites or banishment they'll tire a lot faster.

I'm not sure whether the extra AoE and damage outweigh getting fatigued out sooner.

I tend to defend my casters well with body guards and often opt for high Earth bless for that reason (I tend to double max bless Astral and Earth, with minimum Nature required for regeneration).

Artefacts with ability to cure fatique. And - you right - overpowered monks are usable for blessing, not for combat. Smite is mighty spell, but there are tons of spells with more deadly effects

Holy spells don't have a fatigue cost. At least I don't think they do.
