Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

Don't forget that Astral Fires is MR-negates, which can really cut down its effectiveness. But yeah, the range is great.

I also just discovered that it's precision 100. SWEET!!! I think I'm sold.

Oh, BTW, it's official, the AI is an idiot. I decided to try and see what would happen if I gave my communion master only two pearls. Yup, he blows both pearls on casting PotS, and doesn't have a pearl left to cast LotNS. So three pearls is the only way to go with this strategy.

Nice thing about pearls is that they're plentiful -- it's cheap to turn any other gem into them!
