Questions of how to reduce fatigue aside, I've found that Wither Bones can be pretty effective against Ermorian hordes(Particularly soul gate), since accuracy is irrelevant, is always terrible against small Groups of weak undead, since your mages insist on casting the overpowered spell, but was ultimately meant to be used on elite troops, SCs and mini SCs.
As has already been mentioned, wither bones ir armor negating and cannot be resisted by magic. Cast it on a group of Knights of the Unholy Sepulchre, Shadow Vestals, Bone Fiends, Wights, or whatnot, or on a Bane Lord or some other undead SC, and watch the calcium evaporate. Or possibly liquefy. Either way, works every time.
With area of effect 6+ wither bones is just great.
the only spells which kill a large horde of cheap undeads quicker are probably the gem requiring spells shimmering fields and flame storm .
but those are air or fire so THEY CANNOT damage scs with the right resistence .
thats exactly vicious loves opinion too

so an undead horde of 1000 longdeads is "better" killed by flame storm or shimmering fields but the SCS will survive that
