I'd prefer that the AI wouldn't use gem spells unless you script them to do so, it's especially annoying when they go through a bunch of gems summoning elementals or boosting to cast Fireball.

And then there are the other times, you know, when you give your Wraith Lord full equipment of path boosters, 20-30 death gems, script him to 5xShadow Blast, look deep into his fiery eyes and tell him that you rely on him - and you can actually pretty much count on him continuing to devastate the enemy with shadow blasts even after round 5 instead of going into skellyspamming mode (so long as your army contains enough chaff that he doesn't feel personally threatened - and, even if he does, he'll likely just blast those who threaten him).
Sometimes gem use by the AI is vexing - sometimes it is truly great. Personally, I'd love one or both of these options when giving commander orders to be available: a) "Repeat this spell for the rest of the battle" as a terminating order, and/or b) "Allow this commander to freely use gems yes/no" radiobutton - but I'd hate having the current system with commanders absolutely prohibited from using gems on their own initiative.
