Brings an existing unoccupied boat to the shore where the hero stands.
Base cost: 4 mana
Requires a suitable shore and an available empty boat. Learning it requires no magic-school skill.
Check for an available boat before routing the hero to the coast; this spell relocates a boat rather than constructing one.
Transfers selected reinforcements from the nearest town garrison to the hero.
Base cost: 1 mana per creature
Requires hero level 10. Purchase creatures first and leave them in the garrison. The transfer costs 1 mana per creature and 75% of the hero’s starting daily movement; no magic-school skill is required.
A few strong creatures cost less mana to transfer than a large cheap infantry stack. Preserve enough movement for the planned attack or cast near the end of the route.
Teleports the hero and army to a selected adventure-map location.
Base cost: 15 mana
Requires level 15. Range corresponds to 800 movement points regardless of terrain type, and casting uses half the daily movement allowance. A hero at sea can target only another sea location.
Compare the teleport cost with the actual detour around an obstacle. Walking along a short open route can preserve more movement.
Compare: Town Portal · Vessel of Shalassa
Returns the hero to the nearest friendly town and consumes all remaining movement.
Base cost: 20 mana
Learning requires level 20 rather than a magic-school skill. The nearest friendly town determines the destination.
Check which town will be nearest before sending the main hero away. Time the return so losing the remaining movement does not postpone an important battle.
Compare: Instant Travel · Summon Creatures
Raises army Morale for three turns and grants Stronghold creatures 20 Rage points.
Base cost: 8 mana
Requires level 2. The Morale bonus follows 1 + L/8, where L is hero level. Undead, elemental and mechanical creatures do not benefit from Morale. Manual 3.1 corrects the earlier two-turn duration to three.
Cast before several Orc stacks act so the shared Rage and Morale benefits reach more of the army.
The reference lists this spell or warcry for the specific hero. This does not guarantee identical entry state in every mission.
Also in the reference: Ralling Cry
Gives a selected friendly Stronghold stack 10 × L Rage points.
Base cost: 5 mana
Requires level 2, with L denoting hero level. This warcry gives no shared Rage gain to the other stacks.
Choose a stack near its next Blood Rage threshold, especially one about to act or deliver the main attack.
The hero strikes a friendly stack with a normal hero attack and advances its next action on the ATB bar.
Base cost: 2 mana
From level 6, it adds 0.1 + 0.02 × L to the target’s ATB. Stronghold stacks receive 30 shared Rage, with another 30 for the target. Undead, elemental and mechanical creatures are excluded.
Account for damage to your own creatures. Advance a stack whose next strike will decide the fight or prevent greater losses than the hero’s hit causes.
The reference lists this spell or warcry for the specific hero. This does not guarantee identical entry state in every mission.
Attempts to frighten an enemy stack and grants Stronghold troops 30 Rage.
Base cost: 7 mana
From level 6, base chance is 50% + (L − T) × 5%, where T is creature tier. The army gains Rage even when the fear attempt fails. Mind-effect immunity applies.
Compare hero level with enemy tier and check immunity before targeting. The Rage gain can still matter when the fear chance is low.
Raises army Attack and adds 1 Speed for one turn; Stronghold troops gain 40 Rage.
Base cost: 10 mana
Requires level 11. The Attack bonus follows L/2. Speed increases creature movement reach in battle.
Use it to prepare several attacking stacks together; the extra movement reach can open a route to an enemy shooter.
Deals magical damage to a target based on the total creature count in the hero’s army.
Base cost: 10 mana
Requires level 11 and grants Stronghold troops 40 Rage. Base damage equals the creature count. Magic protection reduces it and resistance can stop it; Magic Mirror cannot reflect this warcry.
A numerous army sustains this warcry’s power. Compare immediate damage with strengthening or advancing a key friendly stack.
Reduces an enemy stack’s maximum damage.
Base cost: 4 mana
| School mastery | Value / formula |
|---|---|
| Untrained | t = 50% |
| Basic | t = 35% |

| Expert | t = 0% |
The new maximum is minimum + t × (original maximum − minimum). Mastery sets t; at Expert, damage is fixed at the minimum. Duration depends on Power. Master of Curses unlocks Mass Weakness for 8 mana.
It offers most value against a wide damage range. When minimum and maximum are equal, this formula cannot reduce damage.

Relocates a friendly stack to another battlefield position.

F is the square root of the sum of killed creature counts multiplied by their tiers. Five Peasants add 5; one Paladin adds 6. Killed summoned creatures do not count. The table uses F and Power.

Compare: Raise Dead · Rune of Resurrection
Doubles creature Speed for one action.
Base cost: 1 wood
Wait or Defend consumes the rune too. Manual 3.1 explicitly corrects the older end-of-turn duration to one action.
Activate it for the actual move toward the target. Before paying, check the route, reach and space for a large creature.
Prepares two melee attacks against the same target.
Base cost: 1 ore
At least one creature in the stack must already have died. The effect waits for the next melee attack; if the first strike destroys the enemy, the rune stays active.
Choose a target that warrants the second hit. Combining Rune of Battle Rage prepares two area strikes against adjacent enemies.
Compare: Rune of Battle Rage
Steals a random beneficial Light Magic effect from the next attack’s target.
Base cost: 1 gems
It triggers on melee or ranged attacks and can even steal Magical Immunity. With no eligible effect, the rune is consumed without gaining a buff.
Inspect the enemy’s active effects before attacking. Choose another rune against a creature without an eligible buff.
Compare: Magical Immunity · Cleansing
Removes dispellable negative effects from the creature.
Base cost: 1 sulfur
It removes level-1–3 Dark Magic curses and some other penalties, including Master of Fire’s Burn. It does not remove Poison.
Check the penalty’s origin and level first. A similar icon does not guarantee a dispellable curse.
Provides immunity to two randomly selected magic elements until combat ends.
Base cost: 1 mercury
Each further use on the same stack rolls a new pair of elements. The result cannot be selected directly during activation.
Inspect the resulting immunities and adjust the plan against enemy spells accordingly.
Grants Incorporeal for one turn.
Base cost: 1 crystals
It uses that ability’s rules for avoiding nonmagical attacks. Direct magical damage still follows the target’s separate protections.
Prepare it before expected focused physical attacks, accounting for randomness on individual hits.
Prepares a chance to trigger Thunderclap and delay the struck enemy’s next action.
Base cost: 1 wood + 1 mercury
It remains active until successfully triggered. Attacks and retaliation can trigger it, and Soldier’s Luck improves its chance. Base probability follows the ability rules comparing both stacks’ total health.
A strong stack can exploit it while defending and retaliating too. Do not rely on a guaranteed trigger on one critical hit.
Restores 40% of the stack’s fallen creatures.
Base cost: 1 ore + 1 gems
The percentage applies to fallen creatures in that stack. It costs rune resources rather than the mana of the hero’s Resurrection spell.
After substantial losses, it can save valuable troops. Before taking another risk, consider whether the stack can survive until activation.
Compare: Resurrection · Raise Dead
The next melee attack hits all adjacent enemy stacks without retaliation.
Base cost: 1 ore + 1 crystals
It follows a Six-headed Attack-style area strike. With Rune of Berserking active, adjacent enemies are struck twice.
Plan a position reaching several targets first. The rune’s value depends on the enemies actually adjacent to the attacker.
Compare: Rune of Berserking
Doubles base Attack and Defense for one turn and adds 50% magic protection.
Base cost: 1 wood + 1 sulfur
It doubles only the creature’s base attributes, excluding hero, spell and other bonuses. Bear Riders therefore gain 5 Attack and 10 Defense regardless of their current totals. Dragons are excluded.
Calculate the benefit from the species’ base stats. Already heavily boosted totals do not receive another full doubling.
