In the magic of Covi there are 12 schools of magic, with 8 spells in each, plus the ability to combine spells, which means twice as many more. That makes 192 spells!!!! Heroes is a joke!

Nonsense... Firstly, not all spells can be combined, and secondly, only 3 - 4 combinations are actually used... I've played through this game 5 times, so I know what I'm talking about...

But overall, the school system was very pleasing... I played for a long time with each of the schools of magic and realized — they are perfectly balanced!!! In every specific case, its own school rules... For example, with Dark Magic I tore apart a huge army of humans (Suggestion and Battle Frenzy), but with that same Dark Magic I was powerless against Necros...
It's a pity that many very interesting spells disappeared in 5 (Song of Peace from 4 was great; sometimes Healing is ownly missed)...

But overall, for the new magic system, BIG RESPECT to Nival!!!!
