- A reference guide and manual in Russian for Heroes 3.

I think that the Sphere of Inhibition does not isolate units from the effect of mines because this sphere prohibits casting any magic in principle. And the mines already exist. That is, the sphere does not neutralize the effect of spells; it prohibits their casting.

The Cloak of Negation also prohibits casting. And with it, the mines are deactivated. The only question is this, which confuses me. There should be parity in the effect of artifacts, but it is not observed.

But at the same time, the Efreet's Fire Shield works in both cases, both with the sphere and with the cloak. That is, the cloak neutralizes the mines, but for some reason, it does not neutralize the native magic of creatures.

This is not the only remark about the fire shield. It also has another logically contradictory point. For example, when using the Medal of Vulnerability, units immune to fire retain their immunity to this spell, but units immune to fourth-level magic lose it... Something is not right... :)
