The spell would definitely be too strong if there was no way for anyone to resist it, even if most units did not take triple damage.

Any non-undead, non-demonic unit with 100% fire resistance would be immune to damage from the spell, because the added 'holy' damage only happens to undead / demonic, just as right now the triple fire damage only happens to them.
Currently, it's always possible to do damage to undead, no matter their stats, equipment, spells, and magic resistance, albeit you need death magic to do it - Dust to Dust and Wither Bones. But demons, especially commanders w/ equipment, are easy to make immune to virtually everything except spells which require a failed magic resistance check, which they rarely fail with MRs of 18+. petrify would work always or ?
since demons are not lifeless drain life should kill them easy too or ?
otherwise you are right but doesn't count what you wrote for every lategame sc too ?
and if blood hadn't at least strong sc's because it has not many combat spells it wouldn't be worth considering it at all or ?
then abysia would most probably not beeing worth played anymore
