*! New spells you'd like!*
Which spells from previous versions would you like to see? Any suggestions? How about blizzard(TM) or poison cloud?

I would like to have the death ripple again - and this time more like the wave it was in H2.
I think the ressurecting-spells like they where in H3 would do nicely.
hmm, good old blind gotta be there, too 
And maybe the "show all" spell from H2 should come back.
I will think of more later

The following spells are much too complicated to be included in any game,
but i'm really bored today!
Mark of Doom (Dark)
Target enemy stack will be cursed with the Mark of Doom. Natural duration: 3 rounds. If by the time the curse lifts, the target stack is destroyed - it will be instantly raised as the amount of creatures it counted when it was first targeted with the spell, but as Plague Zombies or Ghosts.
Dragon Challenge (Summoning)
Target either enemy or friendly stack. A single upgraded dragon will appear and attack it. The target is then immobile and unable to attack anything but the dragon. The dragon can only attack or be attacked by the target.
If the target stack defeats the dragon, and ressurects all the creatures it lost to it and chain-lightning hits all enemy creatures with massive damage.
If the target stack is defeated by the dragon, the dragon will cast meteor shower on the target's player, and dissappear - turning into a battlefield obstacle.
Bloodbath (Destructive)
Takes the sum of the damage of all friendly stacks in the area, and divides it equally as damage to all hostile creatures in the area. Area is determined according to spell power.
Chance (Light)
Target will have it's Attack, Defense, Morale, Luck, and Mana randomly rearranged. Duration is determined according to spell power.
Summon Resources (Adventure)
Summons an amount of a random special resource equal to the spell power of the caster. Advanced and Expert "Summon Resources" may also summon Gold, and Stone & Wood.

How about something like;
Fire Weakness: reduce creature stack's defense against fire type of damage.
might also have a higher level that would effect all enemy's army. Make a nice combo chain of it. Of couse, would have one of such spell for each elements.

Yup. In H3 they had "protection from fire" and all other elements and such. I always thought an opposite spell would be good.

Invisibility...
Makes the creature invisible until it attacks.
If that's too powerful, then make it invisible until it attacks -or- moves. Be a great way to keep your weaker units safer.
