There are a lot of other ways to take care of supercombattant in a battle, and a lot of threads speak of it... what you basically said here is that if I choose the wyrm as pretender and give him a few anti-magic items, I already won the game. Pardon my bluntness, but it's stupid.

The proposed fixes would also have other repercussions that you can take advantage of.
Example : 20 artillery mages with 50 kills each are forever protected as long as an SC is there. If every ghosts comes back only once, that means that the next casting of the spell will kill one of those artillery mages, which have lower MR and, for most of them, have simply no chance to beat up that many ghosts without a meat shield.

Besides, relying on that spell only to kill SC means something else. That whoever has that spell and the mages to cast it has won the game against an opponent that uses SC. That's about as balanced as the imaginary "invincible" first SC you speak of.
