An AOE (area of effect) of 1 means it will (likely) encompass the square directly in front of the caster. A square can contain 6 divided by size-class units, so if the units are human troops (of size 2), a square can hold 3 troops. You would have to have at least 10 human-sized mages, with the troops perfectly apportioned between the 10, and carefully positioned, to cover 50 troops. Not easy.
