Would mistform really help? Wouldn't RoS do magical damage? Even so, given the low hp of Caelian mages, wouldn't the damage of RoS break the mistform?

I wonder if it's the absolute strength of enemy or relative to your armies is taken into account.

Yeah, I wonder that too. I hate it that the system only decides whether to spend gems in battle only on an absolute yes-or-no basis, instead of evaluating on a scripted-spell case-by-case basis, i.e. this spell costs 5 gems to cast, don't cast it because the enemy is too weak, this spell only costs 1 gem, so let's cast it anyway etc.
In a recent game playing AE Ermor, I was badly mauled in some battles because the massed priests of my enemy weren't enough to trigger the gem-use-allowed trigger. If my mages had spent the gems on Mass Flight / Darkness the way they were meant to, I would have won the battle with no losses, but instead lost several hundred undead.
