a hero without magic is NOT a hero IMHO!!!
but sometimes, a general slowdown or speed boost is enough... and for that, you only need one skill (expert in the corresponding school of magic).

I think the best hero is the one with well-developed magic skills, specifically air, water, earth, and fire magic, and maybe some other bonuses for magic. This is for HoMM3. As for HoMM5, it would be light, darkness, chaos, summoning, enchantment, or spellcraft magic. Oh, I forgot to mention that all of this should be at the EXPERT level and fully researched (for HoMM5).

Battle mages are awesome. Sometimes, the battle hasn't even started, and magic has already decided everything. But here's the downside: not all spells can fit in a spellbook. I was playing through the Dragon Slayer campaign, and I only succeeded because of the "Explosion" spell. I went to a town, learned "Slow," and then "Explosion" disappeared from my spellbook. :( (Maybe someone knows where to find the removed spells:smile45:)

Battle mages are the best. Sometimes, the battle is decided by magic right at the beginning.
But what's bad is that not all spells fit in the book - I was playing the Dragon Slayer campaign, and I only succeeded because of the Explosion spell. I entered a town, learned Slow, and then Explosion disappeared:( (maybe someone knows where to find the removed spells:smile45: )
He-he... apparently, you didn't know that the book has more than one page... you can scroll through it;)
You need to click on the corner of the page (it's also a little crumpled):D :D :D

You’re treating me like an idiot:smile52:
I did browse the book, but for magic (of a single element), only one page is provided,
and there are 12 spells on one page, while there are many more earth spells.
So, if you place a Grail in the Conflux, you still won’t know all the spells, even if you have expert wisdom.
Conclusion:
Spells that don’t fit in the book displace older ones, which might be more useful and important.:confused:

You've really taken me for a complete idiot:smile52:
I didn't say that, so think whatever you want

Of course I flipped through the book, but only one page is given for magic (of one element),
NONSENSE!!!:smile42:

There are 12 spells on one page, and there are many more Earth spells.
It turns out that if you place a Grail in the Conflux, you still won't know absolutely all the spells, even if you have expert Wisdom.
Conclusion:
Spells that don't fit in the book displace old ones, which could have been more necessary and important.:confused:
Even after sorting magic by schools, you can still flip through the book!!!
P.S. Are we talking about Heroes 3? What version do you have?
P.S.P.S. **** , so much off-topic has started :eek:

Correct me if I'm wrong:
In the book, on the right side, there are 5 bookmarks - 4 for the magic of the four elements and one general spread.
My only drawback is that there are 10 slots for each element's magic, not 12.
Yes... and one more thing - it's not a page, but a spread (2 pages) for each element's magic.
For reference - I'm talking about the third game:D But all the magic won't fit in the book.
No matter what... Necropolis won't fit...
Wow, we've gone off-topic:smile01:

Well, what is this? I've never had glitches like that, even on the old version of RoE. And even if you use a special bookmark, you can still turn the page. Maybe that Explosion spell was a Spell Scroll artifact, and you swapped it for something else, and the spell disappeared? Well, it happens; sometimes you don same things.
Yes, and as for the topic — I choose battle mages. Any warrior, even the most first-class one, needs spells just to be able to dispel magic, heal, or buff their army, and therefore, you need to take some kind of magic. Otherwise, you might not hold out against a mage if you're poor with spells.

this isn't a bug; it happens quite often. just think about it – there are only 16 fire spells, but there are 10 slots. question: where do the other 6 go?

Well, they're on the next page! Click on the corner... they're all there – I checked specifically! You can either open them by magic type or mix them all up!

yes, but in reality, it's all nonsense. Where could they possibly disappear to? I often have several books lying around, and nothing ever goes missing!

Wow, it seems like when we and our friends bought Heroes, we got some kind of CRAP.
Seeing how you all insist that all the spells are there, I went and bought the Platinum Collection of Heroes - and it's true, you just click on the corner
that's bent, and everything is there.
PEOPLE, THANKS FOR OPENING MY EYES TO SUCH TRASH:smile43:
otherwise, I would have continued playing this crap.
