Not really. With a guy who has killed 50 of them, it really starts to add up. Cast it 10 times, and you will see the SC adding up deads to his death toll at a very high rate: after the ninth cast of the spell, the SC is attakec by a little more than 25000 ethereal zombies.

Magic resist helps. BUT. It still makes a lvl 4 thaumaturgy spell much better than a lvl 6 thaumaturgy/lvl 6 evocation spell (mind hunt with soul slay), becouse: you cant ward it with astral magic, and it has much lower tier in research.

I got a semi-solution, i posted it in other thread.

What about this?


Actually, killing the avenging soul should be SUBSTRACTED from the future VotD castings. I killed you. Your soul came back seeking revenge. I killed your soul. You are definitely dead, period. You dont have "extra souls" to spare to keep avenging you forever.

Should they be allowed to avenge themselves twice ?

I just thought of this as a solution : a 'ritual of forgiveness' which reduces the kill count to 0, but as a side effect gives the unit 0 experience again.

I could even live with that. But with the current rules, it actually means they not only are inmortal, but they reproduce themselves by spores.
