It also has advantages, in that if you run out of slaves while in the field you can teleport in another mage and have those slaves used immediately rather than needing a turn to redistribute them as you would with gems. |
On the other hand, there are some huge disadvantages. Battlefield evocations can't just drain gem pools, but slaves can be slaughtered wholesale. That's a pretty major downside.
With that said, there is also some general screwing around you can do in single player that more than makes up for it. Blood Slave thugs are completely and utterly absurd (and generally worthless), and as such oddly entertaining.
