Sphere of Annihilation - Use in War?

[cignus_pfaccari]

Just cast an illusion around it of something vulbnerable-seeming, like yourself. Have the illusionary you standing in the battlefield surrounded by token illusionary resistance (to make it plausible), cast some spells, and wait for them to rush to overpower the mage before he destroys them.

It's too slow to chase after them -- make them chase after you.

It'll only work once, but not a bad idea, esp. since the enemy can't keep True Seeing up all the time.

The only real problem is it takes a lot of effort to transport; using a move action to move it is going to be fatiguing for the wizard moving it, and you'll need to be careful about concealing it. Now, if it's where the enemy is going to be, it's probably worth the effort, especially if your troops have practiced feigned retreats (you know, to draw the enemy into attack range of the Sphere).
