Metamagic | Skills Heroes VII Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Metamagic is a tree available exclusively for Academy heroes. Typically for this faction, the skills focus on strengthening the spells and on various magic effects. Because of that, the tree is recommended mostly for Magic heroes who will be able to use it most effectively.
On the first level you must pick Novice Metamagic, then, select the Arcane Catalyst. It's not a very useful skill, but the alternatives are even worse. As for the Expert and Master level, you should buy all skills. It will cost large amounts of skill points, but will provide great power for the spells. Grandmaster level provides a rather small bonus, you can resign from buying it and invest the spared point in any other magic school.
