Chaos magic. Is it necessary?

But if I'm not mistaken, Light is needed for the Elf. And the Elf has a decent Special Ability.
...The Elf has a decent Special Ability (it's interesting who could stand against Wing with a pumped-up Special Ability). But wouldn't it be better to use a beautiful hero build and beautiful game strategies?
But, for an Elf, pumping 2 magic schools is too much. If you're going to pump him up, it's better not to pump Chaos (IMHO).
Not always, because Chaos (Magic Depletion and Fire Lord) + Light with the "Fire Resistance" perk are good against, for example, Dwarves or Humans. You cast Armageddon, the enemy's defense is reduced by about half for one turn, and then you finish them off with troops.
Personally, I always pump Chaos, Luck, and Machines.
Risky build, because Machines have a 2% chance of appearing...
Probably, you can also charge Divine Retribution on the Light arrow during pumping. But for it to work, the enemy must deserve it. And Chaos can deprive him of this opportunity. Especially if Empathy is pumped.
And why not use Empathy when pumping Light (I've tried it - it's brutal). The troops will simply be full of buffs, resurrected many times, etc.
I think that Summoning would look better for Elves than Chaos among the main magic schools. But the developers managed to turn zealous fans of Harmony into zealous destroyers. But here we are not talking about which magic is better, but which is more effective. That's basically it.
Summoning, and also pumping Attack would be OP. Not to mention Dark Magic - it's brutal here.
You can't charge Phoenixes with a Rain of Arrows. But I pump Chaos. Without it, Rain of Arrows is not very useful. Besides, Chaos gives a very quick effect.
...You can't charge Phoenixes, but you can charge Mines, Hives, Swarm (I'm talking about Direal), Crystals, and you can Phantom someone, etc.
What is the bug with Light?
The chance of it appearing is quite small; even Wizardry appears more often than Light, so the developers probably mixed up the chance of Wizardry appearing and the chance of the Light school appearing.
