You probably won't double your recruitment, or not for long.

To double income is IHMO inbalanced, as it has a more global and profund effect, effectively you can double your army (upkeep).
A few points must be considered. While income is doubled, Gem Income isn't. The currency of the game by the mid game is already moving towards fort turns, mage turns, and gem income, while this allows you to increase fort turns and mage turns, the rate of increase isn't all that great. Add in the fact that someone will be dispelling this, and its a matter of what can be done in a few turns, meaning it is nothing on Forge of the Ancients, Utterdark, Arcane Nexus, or the other really big spells.
