That's only possible once you reach evocation 5. This is certainly not going to happen by turn 4.

Er, after Evocation 2 you mean.

Evocation 2 gives you lignthing bolt. There is no way to use lightning bolt to kill more than 2 enemies a turn with a virtue.

Research Evocation 2 and send your unscripted Virtue alone vs independents. Luckily she'll know how to deal with them better than you.

Well, I suppose one could use shockwave, but as soon as you give her the alteration 3 that she needs to gain real survivability she'll also start to cast ghost wolves, which you really don't want.

Actually since the Virtue flies, she will cast her buffs, (say Mirror Image, Mistform, Air Shield, Resist Lighting) then set her to attack (1 Round) to get close to masses of the enemy, then cast with the Last order being casting spells. She'll do the smart thing and chaincast Shockwave as long as she has nearby units that the game finds feasible to cast on (I think as long as the squares are 50% full of units around her)

I've never found that to be a problem. Ghost Wolves is a low fatigue spell, anyway if it's an issue (because of high ENC, massive drain and/or low air magic), you still have the option to attack 1 round, as Zen said. Once the enemy is within range, she'll default to Shockwave (unless she chooses to melee) 99% of the time, and that's what you want.
