Beckoning
 
Actually I'd like to know the impressions from this spell. As far as I understand, it targets 50+ units but never more than one third of the army. So the question is: will it target more than one third if the caster's level is above 5 or raising the level makes no sense in this case?
Any advices on this spell?

I have had it used on me twice, and it was seriously underwhelming. I decided
it was not worth the bother. I think that both morale and magic resistance help,
and that forest survival makes you immune. As army busters, there's much better.

I've used it out of desperation. And it wasn't bad ... I cast it on a mix of Sea/Earth trolls and mixed EA Vanheim recruitables. I can't remember the exact numbers, but with a good penetration boost I think I got at least 50 kills with two casts. It's better than what I'd have gotten from summoning Animals, and there wasn't anything else I could have done with those gems at the time. I was at negative income too, so waiting around was not an option.

I remember casting at a starving enemy thrown back from my capitals walls who retreated into a forest province. It caused mayhem .... especially when I hit them with it twice.

Their slightly reinforced army was slaughtered when attempted to lay siege to my capital again.

Wow, brilliant plan to throw it at a starving army!
