Fine in SP, less fine in MP where one of the astal nations will have a lineup of 6-10+ cheap L1 astral units all with orders to mind duel.
Apart from the threat of battles, I have not tried it, but I assume i sucks big time to be mind-dueled to death in an assassination attempt by a R'lyeh Star Child.
