Sorry, I didn't make that clear.
40 is the theoretical maximum, but unless you are really lucky you will be below 10.
Still I thought Blade Wind was considered a good spell for EA?

Try the same experiment with the same number of mages spamming Falling Foo (Falling Fire and/or Falling Frost). Against regular national troops your Foo mages will rack up kills much faster which means less chance of enemy fighters reaching mages.

Yes, you are of course right here.
But GoH still has a solid (while not spectacular) damage output against national troops. All in all I'd say it pays off greatly. I'll explain why and how later.
