I like this much better than my spur of the moment thought tyinng midwives to Uleria, but it still doesnt work in the third aspect backing the reprodoce spell, which is at the moment the best human fertility magic. Any ideas?

Thank you, I hadnt been able to intellegently verbalize my annoyance with the whole idiotic Uleria prostitute connections people have been making. Priestesses are not prostitutes. Anyone who has made even a cursory research into RW temple prostitutes has discovered these women are prostitutes owned by the temple, to call them priestesses is demeaning all the way around.
