I then researched into conjuration to allow my mages to pheonix fire and cast fire storm, or flame storm.

You'll never get them to start a battle with phoenix power(+1 fire), fire storm(Battlefield enchantment) without scripting. So that's one guy to script at least.

And no, giving mages way more gems than they need for the scripted spells rarely works.. need to hand out a few gems each important battle to the flame storm casters. Maybe the fire storm caster spends the whole battle unconsious so he cant waste gems?

You could make just one hotkey with phoenix power, flame storm, flame storm, falling fires, falling fires, and give it to all your mages to save time.
