Imagine what one or two Flame Eruptions or Shock waves can do that a cluster of enemy artillery mages.

How many cheap astral and combat magic mages are there? Have you actually successfully used this tactic? It sounds pretty unreliable and easily disrupted - I mean you aren't going to be teleporting with these mages, so how do you know you aren't going to run into a handful of chaff troops? You'd lose several mages and probably quite a few gems they had for the returning.
