Massing ??Black Priest#740??s allows you to shower the enemy in shrapnel that ignores over half of enemy protection.
-  * **??Iron Blizzard??** //(Evocation 6)// {{path>E1H1}} \\ Trades some range and damage for a truly astonishing 20 darts per cast. Can be cast by even a lowly ??Black Priest#740??, but with a high fatigue cost. This is an powerful evocation spell which is particularly lethal to magic beings.

+  * **??Tempering the Will??** //(Thaumaturgy 5)// {{path>E3}} \\ Battlefield-wide ??Antimagic?? that can be cast by some ??Black Priests??, but only takes effect if friendly units fail a magic resist check. Ordinary ??Antimagic?? is probably more effective given LA Ulm's preponderance of astral mages.

Pretty redundant given LA Ulm's easy access to unit-wielded Black Halberds, and overshadowed by the ubiquitous ??Greatsword of Sharpness?? as an elite-killing tool.

 ====Boosted Access====
-Although LA Ulm's mages only have {{path>B1}} recruitable, they have heroes and summonses with {{path>B2}} and good crosspaths for making {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters. ??Bind Heliophagus?? and ??Bind Demon Lord?? are both reachable and give powerful mages in all paths except {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}Water. Both spells are late in the {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood research path and expensive though.

 ??Sanguine Heritage?? requires {{path>D3B3}}, a crosspath difficult for LA Ulm to get outside of a Pretender. If cast, it is likely to summon a commader with {{path>B2}}.
