At least it's YOUR Sphinx you're stuck with. Consider what you could do with all those hp and all that natural protection if the Sphinx could teleport. Teleport is only Thaumaturgy 3. How can you kill an ENEMY Sphinx sitting on your capital, "sieging" it by himself, with several hundred hps even in your dominion, not letting you recruit any more mages or your national troops, denying you the income from your capital... And even if you kill it, you only lowered it's Astral level by 1. If your enemy has mage-priests (Pythium, Tien Chi) the researchers might be able to call it back in very short amount of time... Imagine the Sphinx bombaring your capital AGAIN, three turns later!
