A spell that need 4 valueable gems to kill 1 (one) random commander with the drawback that it may just kill my own mage or kill a scout again and again?

Hell isn't there anything else you can do with your death gems and your casting 5D(!) Mage than using it for killing 1 unit?

Sure its usefull in some circumstances but not more.
This is exactly what I found when I used it a few times. It is a fairly reliable spell in that it usually kills a commander (where as Earth attack did not always succeed). But it was expensive - 4 precious death gems rather than two a penny earth gems - and you needed an otherwise useful high death caster to do it.

And if you enemy has much about him you usually kill a scout or indie commander instead of that vital mage. Making this spell not very cost effective.
