Part 90: Appendix: Magic (Fire, Water)

Appendix C - Might and Magic (Fire and Water)

Fire
Available to: Haven, Inferno, Stronghold

Fire is, of course, the offensive tree. It has no less than three direct damage spells, allowing a Hero to just spam damaging spells every turn if they wanted to, and Fire Bolt and Fireball are the most efficient damaging spells per Mana. Fire is, oddly enough, the only tree to have a Blood buff, and Inner Fire is an amazing one. The school can be easily ignored, but taking it brings a lot of benefits to the table.

Water
Available to: Sanctuary, Necropolis, Stronghold

While Water has just as many offensive spells as Fire, it's more of a supporting tree, with many of its most potent effects based on additional effects such as Frozen and Chilled.
