I like the extra range on astral fires, it allows me to hit the archers the AI parks in the backfield. The AN damage seems a nice bonus too, along with slightly larger area effect.

You're right, though, that I could get away with one gem instead of three. Am I right in thinking that two gems won't work, because the AI will waste both on the first casting and have none left for the second? I guess I should just give it a try and see what happens
