Actually, for a high-research, high-path spell, stygian paths seems a bit too risky.
Yes, doesn't seem usefull too often, but might be your best/only option compared to the other army transporting spells:

For offensive army dropping:
  • Faery Trod! Only ench5, Nature5, 20 gems. Only forest to forest. Sometimes lands in the *wrong* forest, which would have the enemy god you were trying to attack laughing his pants off.
  • Stygian paths, Thaum8, D5, only 15 gems. But a non-stealthty low-mr low-hp army might die horribly.
  • Astral travel, Thaum9, S5, 25 gems. No limitations.

For transport within you empire there is:
Gateway, thaum5, Astral4, 10 gems. Only to friendly labs so doesn't compete with stygian paths.
