I've never tried this spell, but the sea trolls people seem to be comparing it with are distinctly mediocre in battle. They have good hp, but low prot, high size and low def make them quite vulnerable, and high size & low attack makes them poor at dishing out damage too.

Unfrozen mages are automatically D1 and have 8 additional randoms each at 50%. The randoms are D, D, E, E, E, W, W, W, so if you got extraordinarily lucky, you could get a D3E3W3 mage out of it. The chance for that is 1/256, but even a lesser unfrozen mage can easily be good. If it has only one or two picks besides the first D, it's a pitiful one.

Oh, sea trolls. Don't get me started. The minimum they need is attack 10 or 11 and weapon 29 (claw) instead of fist. Then they would be useful something other than just taking hits.

Sea trolls has good HP and they regenerate, making them great meat shields, and useful in tiring out an enemy army. Although I prefer the normal trolls because they come with an earth mage capable of casting curse of stones to further tire the enemy out, the sea trolls can go underwater, which is a great tool if you're a land nation.

Besides, I mostly cast Sea trolls to collect sea kings and horde water gems. The other trolls I send to the front line to die as fast as possible since they cost a lot of maintenance.

45 waters gems for just on commander (+1 gem / season) ?

It will be profitable only after 45 turns, not very effective IMHO

I use it as thematic support for my LE Atlantis games. It's amazing just for that.
