Magic in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

Come on, why are you twisting everything around? I didn't say that Orcs have super-magic. I just said they have magic. And, by definition, they shouldn't. That's it. I just wanted to discuss this, and you're trying to convince me that their magic is weak. That's not the point!

Okay, let's go a different way. What is magic? Magic is various rituals, combinations of words, etc., that allow one to influence the world in a special, supernatural way. Everything is obvious here. In real life, we cannot summon a phoenix or create a fireball out of thin air. We can't even smite an unfortunate criminal with divine vengeance. But here's the actual definition of a warcry: a loud shout during battle, intended to encourage allies, intimidate the enemy, or call upon higher powers for support. So, how does it fit? A surge of rage, a rallying cry, a warcry – we can all call it "encouraging allies." I don't think anyone would argue with that. And there's nothing supernatural about it. Speeding up the movement of troops by hitting them with magic is definitely not supernatural. A frightening roar also fits the actual definition. The Fury of the Horde is perhaps the only cry that doesn't fit within the definition, unless you consider it a "call to higher powers," in this case, to Mother Earth and Father Sky :D And again, it all makes sense. The more troops call for help, the more help they will receive (if you want to elaborate).

Of course, the implementation of warcries is too contrived. One Orc cannot intimidate an enemy unit. The entire army – theoretically possible. But directing your "intimidation" at a specific squad is impossible. These are just game conventions. But, with the exception of the Fury of the Horde, none of the warcries are supernatural.
