Immortals and cursed items

It would be nice if cursed items could be labeled in the description or symbolized next to the graphic as cursed. Half of the cursed items don't explain or show that they're cursed.

Saurolich... needs to die... hm.
Got death gems? Try lammashastas; they don't like their summoners either. There are other battlefield spells and summons that can hurt yourself, too. Or putting him far forward on 'attack' surely should help. Or script big spells so he falls unconscious.
There are also remote rituals that don't discriminate; for instance, Flames from the Sky hurt friendlies, too (or at least in Dom I it did); dunno if Fires from Afar does as well. Ghost Riders, horrors also don't care who they attack.

The only way I would use this spell in battle is if my spellcaster(s) had flying so they could instantly retreat after casting the spell.

There was a computer opponent that casted this spell during battle. Those Lammashastas killed him which allowed me to win the battle because his undead units either fell apart or ran away. LOL

In my experience, both of these spells are safe, i.e. kill only opponents, so it's safe to cast them on a besieged castle (I did exactly that yesterday).
