You might want to consider that your prophet suffers badly in enemy dominion, and one of the major attractions of supercombatants is to go out and conquer.

It could be a reasonable tradeoff. If you had 5 candles in a province, your prophet will have double the hitpoints. For monsters with 40 to 50 hitpoints, that will be a major boost - not to mention the new bless effects in dom 2. You just need to make sure the dominions effect work for you.

Moreover, the hitpoint of your prophet in a battle is determined by the Last province he's in. You can recharges his hitpoints in friendly dominion before attacking - the ability to fly will be very helpful in this case.
