It's a fun spell. I love watching an AI commander kill it's own armies with it ...

Flying is about a zillion times more useful than entering a sea (on most maps anyway...) I'd hardly call that a wash. However, by the time you're throwing IDs and ADs around you're probably also able to equip them properly (quickness, waterbreathing, flying carpet, ...) to offset what they lack or what you want to give them.

Keep in mind there are nations (Marignon/DF comes to mind, and Abysia too with their fire-3/blood-3 hero) which have mages who can bind Arch-Devils easier than Ice Devils.

And Arch-Devils easily outperform Ice Devils in Heat+3.

Arch-Devils also come inherently with Flying (as has been noted) thus freeing up a foot slot (Boots of Quickness anyone?).

Flying boots (5 air) versus quick boots (10 water). Flying boots win...

Depending on the nation.

How many nations have access to water without access to air?
