Well it's great against indies - and in the case of the Virtue (built in flying adds extra options), boosting MR appropriately means that you can use her later to harass mundane forces who are not adequately mage supported, or just to raid on her own. Just don't make the same mistake that I did, and assume that you can reliably take down 10 Abysian PD without FR. :S

Awe is a funny trick though, its overall usefulness wanes somewhat as the game progresses, and more elite/thug/SC/undead forces come into play. But in many cases, a few thugs with a bit of awe at the front of a clash of huge conventional armies, can really bolster your line's durability significantly.
