It's got nothing at all to do with dominion though, and Arco does not have FN mages anyway, so it's all kind of moot unless you're doing some weird nature-forge-lord thing.

I tried out a FWEN Forge Lord once and it's actually a doable strategy, pumping out cheap fetishes and clams. 2F2N for a fetish, 7W2N for a clam. Not a whole lot of fun though.

Under CBM 50 pts for a forge lord. Plus 4F4W is reasonable bless for WindLords.

Regarding Arco and fetishes.. Once upon a time I did a test for 10 or 20 turns comparing recuperation in dominion and out of dominion - and as I recall I got 30% more recuperation in dominion.

Now, it could have been statistical variance. I didn't adjust for difficulty of affliction, I didn't only look at disease... - but ever since that I've always just jumped in and out of dominion when I want to recuperate.

Heh. There are so many little hunches like that that I have about this game, and just play along with without ever really being able to verify for sure. It really is an amazingly complex game.

(And I should probably read the debug logs more thoroughly.)
