Not wise? The Wyrm comes without paths and adding one costs 50 pts. Taking it up will cost a fortune in pts and not be useful in the early game, when ou don't have proper research but instead you want your Wyrm to shine. If you spend points on Dominion 10 instead, you have the immediate benefit of Awe -2, which synergizes very well with the base Fear, and with makes him, along with the double attack, the strong regen and the high HPs, an excellent early supercombatant which by the way you don't mind too much losing (except for the afflictions of course) because he will not lose any magic power.

Taking paths on a Wyrm would be sacrificing good scales or the optimal dominion for very little gaining IMHO.
