Boxes that are watertight tend to float.  Also, good luck avoiding sharks now that your clever metal boots are underwater.  Firstly, you have a 9th level caster around, and that's how you utlize his time.  Okay.  But what you have there is that caster spending 10 mins for each group of 8 soldiers.  That's an hour for 48 guys, which can then only telepathically speak to each other within their 8 man groups -- not across all the others.  Each casting is a separate group.  And then you have to start all over again to get keep those same 48 guys in their telepathic 8 man groups.  Oh, and they all have to be present for the entire casting, so they can stand guard for like 30-40 minutes in their cool telepathic state before it's time to rotate back to the ritual spot.Surely the enemy is aware of this, and just hangs out a few days, wasting your 9th level casters time and having a good laugh.</blockquote>
