in the original spell there are 4 items with numbers - these are the amounts of attack deducted by the magic at mastery levels NONE, BASIC, ADVANCED, EXPERT, I added a fifth item for deducting 50 attack points, that's MASTERY_EXTRA_EXPERT, a hero will never reach extra expert, because the Pendant of Mastery gives it, but you can give such a spell to creatures
Ohhh I didn't know there was a 5th tier of magic, amazing news, thanks for the info.
I mean, I generally understand spells pretty well, but I didn't know about this =)
I always thought the pendant buffs the skills themselves, so I didn't think something like that could apply to magic.
Interesting room for experiments.
Maybe there's some other interesting info or little tricks that nobody's really talked about but you know about? )
