Air already has plenty of combat magic, unlike water.

That's not what I'm talking about. It's obvious anyway. The point is different. Water magic significantly enhances Bless and Dispel. But air magic doesn't enhance, for example, Lightning Strike. (It does enhance it, of course, but it's just a drop in the ocean).

And the conversation about the third level didn't start for no reason. Some spells from the 3rd tier can be moved to the 2nd (Earthquake, Teleport, Fireball), and some can be moved to the 3rd (Blindness, Lightning enhanced in damage). The idea is raw, of course, but it's worth considering in this direction.

Well, and the fact that the starting armies need to be balanced, that Brogh and Tiraxor need to be nerfed, that's a given.

Fire will only make sense to take for Berserkers.

Why? There are good spells in Fire. Its effectiveness will be no worse than Shield. And Bloodlust is almost like Stone Skin. And Berserk will be better than Slow and Resurrection.
