[edit] Spells Learned by Heroes

This category lists all the "original" spells automatically learned by heroes or purchased from the library. Please note that the in-game descriptions do not specify the actual spell damage range and are in some cases incorrect.

Notes to the table below:

• Spell Lv. specifies the spell level and, for spells learned by the hero, the level at which the spell is learned (or the level required for purchase from the library)
• Freq. (Dur.) specifies the frequency in the number of rounds from one use to the next use. For example, a frequency value of 4 means that the spell is cast every four rounds. A frequency value of "1" indicates that the spell may be cast every combat round. A frequency value of "once" indicates that the spell is only cast once in combat. Some spells have effects that last multiple rounds. The length of this effect, if applicable, is indicated in parentheses as the duration of the spell.

[edit] Enchantments

Type:

• Passive: always in effect during combat, like self-buff spells that are always on. Each time the enchantment is obtained, 10 turns are given, except for Champion's Vigor, which gives 15 turns.
• Active: are spells that must be cast individually during combat.
• Non-combat: refers to enchantments that only have effects outside of combat. "Accumulated" enchantments can be stored up and are not dependent on turns.

Cost: The amount of gold that must be donated to the temple or the amount of (piety * turns spent prayed) needed to receive the enchantment. For clan shrines, the cost per turn per hero is (Temple Cost)/5 for passive and active enchantments, and (Temple Cost)*2 for resurrection and reanimation.
