Comment

A very useful skill if we cast it on a character who engages in close combat. Additional damage generated for keeping close distance is very useful and the hero becomes immune to direct strikes for the rest of the turn. When using this ability, one should pay attention to the order in which the characters will move, and cast the spell right after your enemies get very close to the hero.

	Shocking Touch
Description	Stuns nearby enemy and deals air damage
Special	100% chance to stun an enemy for 1 turn
Cost	1 AP/ 1 Memory Slot
Cooling Time	4 turns
Blocked	Physical Armor

Comment

One of many ways to avoid danger in close combat. If the enemy is eager to get close to us, we can zap him and stun him at the same time. This will make it easier to keep the distance, or deliver a deadly blow. Check if your opponent has any physical armor, as it can block your spell. It is also useful when there is cooling time on our other skills, and we need to support our team. One should keep in mind casting the spell on wet ground can zap all the characters, including our own units.

	Electric Discharge
Description	A beam of energy jumps from the target to the closest enemy and deals air damage to every hit target.
Special	100% to stun your targets for 1 turn
Cost	2 AP / 1 Memory Slot
Cooling Time	3 turns
Blocked	Magic Armor

Comment

Similar to Shocking Touch. The main difference is that the spell has medium distance and can affect more than one target. Thus, with a little luck and reducing magic armor to its minimum, we can stun our enemy and make it easier to kill him.

	Favourable Wind
Description	An aura for you and your allies that boosts speed.
Special	100% chance to cast an aura for 3 turns.
Cost	1 AP/ 1 Memory Slot
Cooling Time	6 turns

Comment

Greater speed means being able to move further for less AP. The spell is especially effective against range units that move too fast. Furthermore, our allies will be able to get to their positions faster. This skill has a very long cooling time, so think carefully when casting the spell.

	Teleportation
Description	Teleports an item or the hero by picking him/it up and putting down in a selected location.
Special	N/A
Cost	1 AP/ 1 Memory Slot
Cooling Time	3 turns
Blocked	Physical Armor

Comment

Teleportation can give us advantage over the enemy in various ways. During the battle, we can move our range units far away from danger, and thus give them additional bonuses. One can also move a character to engage in close combat. Furthermore, you can throw your foes into flames or venomous areas. The skill is effective, rather cheap, and its cooling time is not too long.
