Dust to Dustslightly off topic but gorgon could use it too): In my test i used 5 mages with 3 in death magic path scripted casting "dust to dust" several times. Ghost king was scripted to cast mistform, astral image and other buffs. dust to dust did no damage at all and this after 10 castings directly on the ghost king. It might eventually hit the ghost king, but it did deal never damage, all it did was to kill mirror image. After that mistform protected ghost king against exactly 1 hit, dealing 1damage. So Mistform was gone too. And finally Ghost king was hit big time by dust to dust for full damage. This is what is saw in the combat screen. I did not run 10 battles like this, but the results speak for itself. Or can a unit be so lucky to survive 10 dust to dust from close range? The mages just stood in front of him and its area damage too. So please consider this. The ghosts that travels with the ghost king come in handy too. Gorgon seems very vulnerable to Life Drain. So with ghosts he can certainly kill her if she is not stuffed with the best items in the game.

Let's review the basics here:
Dust to Dust deals physical NON-MAGICAL damage to undead creatures. Etherealness protects against non-magical damage, ergo Dust to Dust cast against a GK misses totally 75% of the time. So only 25% of DtD will hit at all and deal varying amounts of damage. Read the spell description, it says DtD causes damage against undead, but rarely affects ethereal undead creatures.
