My "Sacred book" (or "holy" probably, my game is translated) don`t upgrade any better than a "old dice" card when applied on an air card, wich is the same element as the amplifier... seems like a bug
If you don't have an axe, you can't cut down trees. But you should have a stone axe somewhere (probably your storehouse) - it's un-sellable and un-trashable. Chainsaws (island 2) also work for cutting down trees.
