I only tried banishing in one game (when I wasn't GMing), and it worked out
wonderfully well. I played an ork shaman (grade 0 initiate with only Masking
ability), and we ran into two fire elementals. So I started to banish one,
and had it done in about two turns. Then his brother comes along (same
Force, I think) and he reduced my Magic rating to 2 before he was a goner
too. After that I didn't try it anymore because we were breaking into a
corporate compound at the time :) Unluckily for me, I got chopped in half by
a force 8 Ant spirit before I had time to do anything against it :(
