How do I get blood slaves back in my pocket?

This actually makes a lot of blood mages even more awesome. Just script them to cast the spells you want, and have the other commanders ferry in the slaves. If you can guess which province your enemy will attack, this allows you to trade provinces for casting life for a life spells. Script mages to life for a life/retreat (in cbm, a b2 mage with 2 slaves can cast it). And most SC's think twice about attacking you.

Life for a life is good at dealing with SCs, but its not great. Particularly compared to just sending people off to Inferno or Cocytus, which they don't even get to resist.

Yeah, the banishment spells also work. But have more difficult to get path reqs.
