-**Divine Name** is a Level 7 Thaumaturgy that requires {{path>S5}} and consumes {{gems>25S}} on use.

 Divine Name is far-less redundant than it seems, since the [[Astral]] path provides you with a couple of effects that can give you units you'd much rather have as Commanders; [[Enslave Mind]] and [[Wish]], to be specific. The former also happens to be a Thaumaturgy. On the other hand, [[Nature|Nature's]] equivalent to the former can give you Commanders. If you **can** cast both, you should cast Gift of Reason, simply because it's cheaper. Divine Name is far-less redundant than it seems, since the [[Astral]] path provides you with a couple of effects that can give you units you'd much rather have as Commanders; [[Enslave Mind]] and [[Wish]], to be specific.

   * A few nations have late-game Summoning "bundles", which give you a powerful Commander along with a good handful of units that can also be powerful Commanders; you might as well use Divine Name (or Gift of Reason) on those units, instead of summoning them individually as Commanders. It's always cheaper.   * A few nations have late-game Summoning "bundles", which give you a powerful Commander along with a good handful of units that can also be powerful Commanders; you might as well use Divine Name (or Gift of Reason) on those units, instead of summoning them individually as Commanders.
