Everybody's favourite when used in conjunction with with the Boots of Calius the druid on an SC.
My absolutely favourite use was on a LA Ermor Master Lich pretender wearing cheap defensive equipment (standard MR, luck, and reinvigoration), that had wished once for power and thus had decent combat stats, when I unleashed him on major attacking army that apart from ~1500 normal troops had SC, thug, priest, and mage support (~90 commanders total), a large portion of the attacking army being living and regenerating from blessing.
Invulnerability, Soul Drain, Phoenix Pyre, Elemental Fortitude, Summon Earthpower, SPELLS.
The Master Lich ended up wiping out ~80% of the opposing army including most of the SCs and commanders at the cost of 7 afflictions.
...Much better than the time I lost a small army of fire casting mages whom the AI chose of its own free will to cast Phoenix Pyre. The agony!
