It's an area where the AI could improve, to be sure. Burden of Time could make sense when your god is temporarily visiting the River Styx, and the other nations seem to have a bunch of valuable mortal units. Some non-Ermor nations can also have a lot of units which are immune to disease, age, etc.

The AI doesn't really think this out, though. It's not so much that "You cast this spell when you are Ermor", so much that, "Being Ermor" is a quick way of saying that your army consists nearly entirely of undead which are immune to Burden of Time/Utterdark. The AI, of course, will happily Burden of Time his own units, which are perfectly living, having not considered the fact that his own forces consist of the living rather than the undead.
