That's what I meant by "great cost."

If you ever get bored, have a Sabbath or Communion Master cast it so that it goes to eight or more Slaves. It'll bring so many Horrors you'd think being attacked by Horrors was going out of style. Since Horrors attack Horror Marked units first, then combining Hell Power with some of the Horror Marking spells means that there might be a potential battle tactic here, but it's so dangerous that it reeks of pure desperation.

Yes, I understood you knew, but some gamers may not be aware since the spell gives no indication it will horror mark its caster.

It's listed in the manual's description of the spell's effects.
