This goes along with what I have argued -

For SC's - this spell *is* impossible to defeat. Similarly, armies with a few, slow units.

Question: Can't this spell be defeated by battlefield damage spells?

Cant this spell be (fairly readily) defeated by spells like Howl? The trick is to get widespread coverage - something that howl, and other similar spells do. I imagine that 3 mages, detailed to do nothing to delay and cast howl would take care of this issue.
