Then, you use the next two turns to cast Sacrifice on that unit to get tons of free units, attack other enemies with your controlled unit, and soak up damage. At the end of those two turns, cast Time Back for a fully replenished and re-charmed unit, for another two turns of Sacrifice and soaking up damage! And, guess what? When that finally expires, your Demoness is ready to use Charm again!
With this tactic, I've managed to buy only 1 unit of a creature type several times, and grown them to a full stacks in only a 2-4 battles.
3. You can also use Time Back to extend other spells. For example, you can use Time Back to replenish Dragon Arrow charges or extend any positive spells on your units or negative spells on enemies (Sheep comes to mind). You can also use Time Back to extend the duration of Phantoms.

You can do a lot of stuff with time back. Just remember that it restores to previous turn so you can get two regular sacrifices off (or if you're a mage, four) before casting time back. Likewise you can also get two attacks in and two rounds of retaliation in. Just cast it as the last thing you do on your turn.
