No MA C'tis guides :(

Dividing your efforts between your options, with Bane Lord thugs raiding territories, and Sirrush supplementing your primary ground forces, could keep an enemy from being able to focus his own tactics, or even script properly.

Sirrushes are good with regen, and an N4 bless for MA C'tis is nice because you can make shrouds to keep sick indy mages alive. I'm pretty sure a regen Bless stacks with the spell, so it's not like your bless is wasted once you are able to buff the Sirrushes. But then you have to give up on a cheap awake PoD.
