You can use gift on dryads to keep renewing the lullaby spell. This allows you to concentrate all your attacks on levels 4 and 5, the sprites hit without retaliation with high morale from agna's ring and do massive damage. Do it correctly and most enemies won't even get a chance to move.

Why use gift when phantom is cheaper and better? it allows the same functionality (lullaby has the same effect whether you have 1000 dryads or 1), for 15 mana rather than 20, and gives you another set of dryads (and thus another set of thorns) to boot. It also seems like a waste to gift an ability that will recharge on its own, in 2 rounds, in any event.

It's a good strat, though, and one that i've used extensively.
