I couldn't get this guy to follow his script and cast Hell Power. Might have boosted him to H10.

Edit: Fighting more monsters made him cast it. The image has been updated.

Yes, the main drawback is encumbrance. Beware ! I had loose some mages in massives battles (i.e. long-during battles).

But it is really worth it, especially for boosting Holy. And if your Priests don't have any kind of magic, well, empowered them in the path where you have the most gems ;o)

I use this tactic often in my SP games.

Not sure about this, but it could have been a lack opponents. Mages often don't cast scripted gem requiring spells against small/weak armies, even if they include some very tough units. E.g. it's hard to shadowblast an SC sometimes. Try against a horde of longdead or something maybe?

Thanks! You're right, it just took a few more enemies. I've updated the image.

So, his Banishment (if he isn't too busy fighting off the horrors that Hell Power spawns) is:

Area 22
Range 65
Damage 23
Penetration 4

All total silliness, of course.

I just lost a pretender, because he was carrying a crystal shield and became over-encumbered. I'm not a fan of it, accordingly. It should be used wisely.
