Although I too think these spells are a bit too potent for my comfort, in my own games MW/FFTS abuse did little to alter the balance of power, as when a side starts using them the opposition isn't long to reply with weapons of the same caliber. At the very least it seems everyone is Leprosy-capable at some point.

On the contrary I've sometimes seen an overwhelmingly dominant faction being leveled to reasonable size by a coalition of weaker, but more numerous nations (with a bigger gem income) - and I'd say that's a rather good thing.

In any case, since game balance is really only an issue in MP, the players can always vote to ban these rituals or restrict their use.

Re: the "dispatch the offending mage with VOTD" - in my experience the offender is more often than not an Ice Devil, thus undead, thus unaffected by VOTD.
