I always thought it was totally random.

As far as I remember you always get a lord and 0-2 mages and up to 25 of the ordinary soldiers. My guess is that it is up to 10 of the better warriors.

Gah, I tell you I've had such abysmal luck with that spell I'm done casting it. I've cast it 4 times (in 2 different games), 3 of them I didn't get a mage at all and once a not terribly useful one plus the troops themselves rather underwhelmed me. I've got better uses for 55 gems...

I've never failed to get a mage with this spell, most of the time I get two and once I got three mages. Getting a E2W2D3 and E3W2D2 mage out of one casting is sweet.

If a non-earth nation the chance of an E2 or even E3 mage is pretty nice, same with death. Extra bonus in that it combines them. Its a very depressing spell though, if you get your E2 (or E3/D3,etc) its nice but not amazing for 55 gems - if you don't, it just sucks. I've also gotten poor mages, or no mages at all which suck. I'm not sure if anyone casts it for the troops, I've always cast it for the mage(s). Been happy a time or two, satisfied and disappointed about even I think.

I think I'd much rather spend the gems on anything else
