I checked the save files, and it turned out that things weren't as described. Completion of mission 2: Mephala is level 35 and has 19 knowledge points, not counting artifacts that affect this parameter. Completion of mission 3: Mephala is level 36 and still has 19 knowledge points, not counting artifacts. Before the battle with the Dragon, Mephala is level 36 and has 19 knowledge points. As for artifacts, she has a crown +4 and a necklace +3 (I checked, both artifacts were purchased from the artifact merchant in the Dungeon). And there are those 26 knowledge points.
In general, there was a discussion in the thread about a simpler and, apparently, author-intended way to complete the final mission. Lord Gena could learn necromancy in his branch and summon legions of skeletons before transferring to the final map (dead units, both enemy and ours, are supposed to transfer). That is, the Dragon can simply be overwhelmed with brute skeletal force. However, for this, the campaign will have to be replayed from the middle.
