But yes, the splitting is an issue too. I'm generally not fond of abilities that work completely separate of troop size /leadership, and this is by far the worst one.

This is true, but with rune mages I can pick slow pokes to help burn counterattacks faster. It is nice, but a bit alarming when it is vastly superior to the real spell "Phantom".

Actually, what other abilities work independently of troop size / leadership? I was experimenting the other day and realized Demonesses' Charm works on 80% of leadership... of their own stack. Haha!

Hypnosis actually does work on 80% of your leadership (seems like a Viking/Skald COULD somewhat use this but eh).

They really took some time to balance out the older abilities. I'm always curious on more evil imba.

They really wanted to get this "Rune" theme going, yet I hate the Rune Magic Tree with a passion and beginning to dislike the Rune Mages even more.
