If I am abysia, using cloud effect spells would work well for knocking off the glamour units?

Cloud spells or Falling Fires should do you just fine. If you don't have Evo5, but you do have Evo4 (for Fire Cloud) you should probably make a priority for Evo5, since it does dramatically help your units against non-fire resistant units.

You can also try Prison of Fire, with a decent mage (4+ in Fire) you should be able to imprison them, if you can get the Spell AI to target them.

Abysians can knock off glamour with their radiant heat alone. But, yeah, Fire Cloud works really well too, better than Falling Fires for that purpose, as it has a rather large AOE and sits there a few rounds so a lot of units will walk through it, and as Abysia you can cast it x5 because it doesn't effect your guys so you can cast it right on your front lines. Flare actually isn't bad early, it effects a lot of squares around where it lands, doesn't do much damage but can start the unit on fire which is all you want to knock off glamour.

Do ball spells actually work on glamoured units? They didnt in dom2 due to a bug.

I'm not sure if they'll actually get hit by the ball, that's not really the purpose behind it. Even if Flare hits nothing, which is what usually happens regardless of glamour haha, it releases and AOE in a few squares around it that sometimes starts units on fire which handily gets rid of the glamour. That, I've seen happen. I wouldn't exactly call it reliable or something to base a strategy off of, but early in the game it helps when you don't exactly have too many options anyway.
