But Dark Magic isn't effective against Wizards, especially since the hero doesn't appear very quickly. However, Summoning has an important skill called Misty Veil (reduces damage and initiative of enemy archers by 10%, and there are three of them, as you know). So, as I think, Summoning magic is the most suitable against Wizards! And if you choose Light, by the time you cast Divine Power or Stone Skin, half of your troops will already be gone.

1) The Academy doesn't have a strong enough army to defeat the Elves so quickly.
2) When casting mass spells, only 50% of the initiative is applied, so a Sylvan hero will cast 2 spells before most units (even with artifacts for intuition) make their second move.

Come on! But if you have health-boosting artifacts on units of levels 1-2, and speed and initiative on golems, djinns, and rakshasas, they will easily defeat you.

I have the impression that many people write posts about the total superiority of one faction over another after a successful battle against the computer on "novice" or "warrior" difficulty (although even on "hero" difficulty, the computer isn't that strong or smart). A hero, like the Academician, pumped up to level 30, with knowledge over 30, with an army filled with mini-arts for everything possible, and himself adorned with relic artifacts like a Christmas tree – easily defeats an Elf of level 18-20 whose army consists only of dryads and dancers... yes, un-upgraded druids. And then you get posts like "he didn't even have time to fart before I killed him."

What a pity, my favorite Ilfina no longer has the ability to level up to SUPER-Rabbit:( But this won't make me appreciate her any less, because they still left the unicorn, right?
2 DungeonLord: I don't think Ilfina has a difficult progression; Light magic is good for forest elves, and you can take any other skills you want;). So I don't see any difficulties, even if you try to convince me.

Who said it's impossible? You just need to find a memory mentor who can erase skills, and you'll have the ultimate ability; the main thing is to find him. But in general, it's just an anti-elf conspiracy; they all need their heroes to have 2 extra levels to upgrade their ultimate ability, and besides, Ossir and Ilfina were initially blocked from reaching the ultimate level.

Well, the only salvation lies in a mentor, but there are 2 problems here, one of which is money. And besides, it's not a given that a mentor will be available on the map where the ability is needed. In principle, Ossiria and Ilfinka seem to be the strongest in terms of troops (archers and unicorns), so it's quite logical that they were limited in something. By the way, I think it would also be good to play as Ossiria, but I'm already used to Ilfinka's cavalry sweeping everything away :smile13:, and, I repeat, to the free unicorn.
In general, the elves' ability is great, but the racial skill is lacking, IMHO. You can miss with the sworn enemies, and then all the coolness of the skill is wasted:(
