You can cast Life After Death and Foul Vapors to kill all your mages in a battle, which then turn them into Soulless, and then you can stop paying upkeep for them.

As Souless, they'll lose all their unit powers, but they'll have magic paths to research and cast, have a lower encumbrance, and you won't worry about age or disease anymore. They do have a low MR, so watch out for Banishments.

Doing this to a pile of Priests is great way to create Reanimating Priests.

Damn you K, that was my secret trick!

Though actually I wasn't clever enough to use Foul Vapours. When I did it I just had all my priests stand next to a Bog Beast. Still I was quite pleased with myself!

Wow that really is a great trick. Poor researchers!

Sounds like a great move to use with LA Pythium to get rid of their Heretic status (and upkeep of course). Plus they have easy access to Foul Vapors or Hydras.
