I'm still curious about whether or not _all_ spells that require gems won't be cast, if it's only a commander coming in. If so, then things are (imo) rather screwed, because you can't use your heavy artillery spells against super combatants if they come in alone.

For instance - no casting Storm to keep a VQ or other SC from flying about, which means no casting Summon Storm Power. No casting Wind Guide to help your crossbowmen hit the SC, etc.

I think that most SCs are actually sufficiently heavyweight by themselves to trip the gem usage switch. I've seen gem-usage spells being used against single SCs.
