| | Vanheim has recruitable [[Master Smith|Master Smiths]] who can [[Magic-Item|forge]] equipment one level higher than comparable mages, though only for magic paths they have. The smiths are slow to recruit, and not quite as flexible as the other mages of the nation, but they raise Vanheim's effective magic access for the purpose of getting items: |
| | |
| | * {{path>E4}} (rare 5) <- There are only a few Earth items Vanheim //can't// make |
| | * {{path>F2}} (rare 3) |
| | * {{path>D2}} (rare 3) |
| | |
| | All of the smiths will at least have {{path>E3}} in terms of forging, and the crosspaths they can get in conjunction with their smithing skill lets Vanheim make a wide variety of things... just not cheaply. |

These can be useful for pressuring back lines in combat, but they can't be scripted (since they are summoned), making them equally-likely to divebomb the enemy's frontlines or middle-ranks instead. Blessing them is also tricky, requiring either a delay in casting ??Divine Blessing?? or a particular grouping of your other [[Sacred]] troops for the standard ??Blessing??. |

Also increases the likelihood of hurricanes ravaging the world for each dwarf summoned. If all four dwarves are alive at once, the world is plunged into perpetual darkness and storm. | |

| | * Conjuration 3 {{path>N2}} for {{gems>6N}}: **??Sloth of Bears??** ( {{:nations:ea:helheim:great_bear.png?nolink}} ??Great Bear??×10+)\\ Undisciplined animals with low attack density but a lot of strength. Makes decent siege chaff. Note that casting ??Summon Animals?? in Highlands [[animal-summons|yields more bears on average]] (13 vs. 10), if you're in a rush. |
| | * Conjuration 4 {{path>D2}} for {{gems>12D}}: **??Awaken Draugar??** ( {{:nations:ea:helheim:Draug.png?nolink}} ??Draug??×3)\\ Undead medium-heavy infantry with [[fear]] and a cold aura. They change into size 3 Draugar once under 20 hitpoints, increasing their Strength by 3 and their Combat Speed by 2; like with other size-changes, this doesn't displace units in the same square as long as none of them advance. Compared to ??Wight??s, Draugar are much less mage-turn efficient, weaker until pushed to their Size 3 forms, and lacking the [[decay]] attack that counters thugs and elites, but their fear and chill auras give them significant utility when mixed into front lines. |
| | * Conjuration 8 {{path>A4E3}} for {{gems>62A}}: **??Summon Dwarf of the Four Directions??**\\ Summons one of the four Dwarves of the Four Directions, powerful mages who have significant combat, ritual-casting and forging capabilities ({{path>A4E3,200%FWDN}} and [[Master Smith]] 1). Also increases the likelihood of ??Hurricane??s ravaging the world for each dwarf summoned. If all four dwarves are alive at once, the world is plunged into a ??Perpetual Storm?? and all battles will have ??Darkness?? over them; this is a somewhat-roundabout manner to apply what amounts to two Global Enchantments at once, but the only way to dispel either effect is to kill one of them. |
