sorry, I didn't read it from the beginning, maybe someone already mentioned it...
here, you can use mini-spells for any purpose, because:
I encountered a well-leveled hero with a half-dead mage (before that, he had slaughtered an orc), and the first thing he did was cast a counterspell! The mage had plenty of mana, but the hero, without magic, was doomed! In short, I barely managed to defeat him, and that was thanks to the orc, which had reduced his army by half!
From this, I can draw a bold conclusion: if the Knight has any chance, it's solely due to his combat skills!
