Well, I thought maybe you felt duty bound to complete your mission. I must admit though, the reward played a small role in my decision in addition to doing the "nice" thing.

I tend to limit the use of promotion and divine right to easier battles where I want to gain XP. If I'm serious I don't use them; I had far too many bad experiences with the AI comboing me half to death because of a single use of either.
I've been pretty lucky with it so far- it's also a good way to deny an enemy a mana type that they need. Maybe it'll stop paying off later though... I'm only about lvl 16 so far.
