At first, I only used it when I had the Blade of Armageddon, but since the Blade's skills are low, I usually preferred the Sword of Justice or the Gladius of the Titan. The second awakening of the Armageddon for me came when I learned that in the Conflux, 4-7 creatures are not vulnerable to Armageddon – after that, I understood the true power of Armageddon!

No, Berserk is better, IMHO.

Berserk is a good spell, but you shouldn't focus solely on it! For example, a great spell is healing...

Berserk is a good spell, but you shouldn't focus solely on it!

And who's arguing? We're just discussing the best spell.

Blessing is particularly effective against living creatures.

I rarely use magic, and only the basic spells at the beginning. Later, I use it just for fun. If I do use magic, it's usually air and water spells.

Without magic, the game becomes much more difficult! Magic helps reduce losses in battle... And here, all spells are useful! Everyone has their own tactics... Usually, a spell is chosen based on the tactic... The most frequently used spell is Lightning!

And here, all spells are useful! Everyone has their own tactics... Usually, the spell choice depends on the tactic...

That's right! Every magic is useful in its own situation.

By the way, I think healing is much better than dispelling spells!

Yes, because healing removes negative spells and restores health.

If we consider all the spells as a whole, then Earth magic is slightly better than the others, and this can be easily verified!

1) Level:
a) Slow (a very frequently used spell)
b) Stone Skin (not often, but the spell itself is very useful when you have a large army)
c) Shield (same as b)

2) Level:
a) Wave of Death (a very effective spell, especially at the beginning of the game)
...and that's all for level 2; here, Earth magic loses to all other types of magic.

3) Level:
a) Raise Dead (very effective, especially for Necromancers, as this spell has a 100% chance of appearing in level 3 magic)
b) Earthquake (a very useful spell when sieging a city, if the forces are roughly equal)
...there's not much else, but level 3 magic, apart from the clone, is generally not very impressive.

4) Level The strongest! Here, "Earth" has surpassed everyone!
a) Town Portal (everyone uses it; if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have completed half of the maps!)
b) Meteor Shower (a very effective spell, especially good in the middle of the game, but it is also a specialty of two heroes from Necropolis - Aislin, and from the Dungeon - Deemer, respectively, which gives a certain advantage at the beginning of the game)
c) Resurrection (restores creatures killed in battle; you can only dream about this; I personally use it to save the population of my army)

5) Level:
a) Explosion and again Explosion (the best magical spell; everyone who can uses it!!!)
b) Summon Earth Elemental (it has saved my skin more than once)

So, let's summarize: I haven't covered all the spells, but these are the most effective ones. Moreover, you can't do without half of them!

But fire is cool too! In general, water is the least popular school of magic! :p

For me, earth magic is definitely the best, with spells like slowing, resurrection (reviving the dead), explosion, and, of course, the mountain portal. I would also consider wave of death (early in the game) and skin to be useful.
Air has a good lightning strike, flight, and dimensional door, plus acceleration.
Water probably has prayer and blessing.
Fire has inferno, berserk, blind, and armageddon.
P.S. I might have forgotten something.

Yes, if you consider Armageddon and Berserk, then fire is the strongest, but since these spells are rarely used, especially Armageddon, fire is significantly weaker. However, if Blindness affected all enemy creatures (except those with immunity) when used by a fire mage at the expert level, then fire magic would be the most popular!

well, that would simply be impossible. the only way out then would be to remove the enchantment on an expert difficulty level (provided someone has immunity). otherwise, just keep moving around as much as you can. eliminate everyone one by one, and that's it.
