You don't need to explicitly spam it, the battle AI is fine at picking it out itself after the script runs out. MR is irrelevant. Regen of 10 takes care of one mage, so the other two will take him down in short order as long as the chaff holds up. Incinerate is not an F4 spell. I think it's F3, because F2 mages can cast it without boosters. (Thus, it's an SC-/thug-killer that costs only gold, no gems.) Fatigue is low too--20ish IIRC.
Probably the main reason it doesn't get used in MP is because *do* pay attention to resists, since otherwise they'd get Frozen Hearted and Incinerated to death.

I think my point was using a (capitol only?) mage that costs > 150 gp, to take out (capitol only) niefle giants that cost 150 gp is a losing equation. You're fighting economics, plus the 1 commander / turn restriction.
