I'd use that spell to strip all the items off any enemy SC's,

Added bonus: It relieves SCs of their equipment, which really puts the hurt on SCs. I thought limiting SCs was also something on a wish list?

Whether SC's need to be toned down is debatable, but this spell would totally nerf them, IMHO.

and to strip large armies of their Wine bags, leaving them starving.

While more of an issue, this would make people break their armies down into smaller bites, something that I feel should be done anyway.

I love the big honkin' armies! The massive battles are one of my favorite parts of the game!

Even if the cost was made more in line with its power, stealing clams would be pretty low, priority-wise, because you would't be able to cast it enough to make a difference..

Really? This spell costs half as much as a Clam, so I _should_ be able to cast this twice as much, if I have the mages to do it.

Which makes it only viable for water-magic nations to combat the clam hording?

Also, the clam hoarder is likely far better equipped to spam this spell than his opponents would be, since he'd already have a good water gem income, and a bunch of water mages.

Well, if he's stealing stuff, he isn't making Clams, now is he? That was rather the point of the exercise, wasn't it...?

My point was that the clam horder would likely have a healthy water gem income, and a surplus of water mages to be able to cast the spell, while non-clam-hording nations are much less likely to have those conditions. (ie: Marignon wouldn't have an easy time using this fix.)
