But still you can chop small or medium even a huge army if your hero is a good destructive mage.Light helps when the army is medium or big but for small...

Actually light and dark magic are not dependant on the spell power... I agree both are great to weaken the enemy or bless your army but cmon a full damaging army is not invincble, They die really easy with a meteor shower... Especially if u have empowered spells and warlocks luck, destructive magic is unstoppable! Except... MANAAAAAAAAA... destructive spells cost really too much ... empowered meteor is about 32 manas normally so its disputable how many times can u cast spells of destruction in a long battle... Anyways I wote for destruction, the mana problems solution is simple... Kill the enemy fast

Dark is dependant on spell power. Frenzy, Puppet Master, Vampirism and COTN are all affected by spell power. The duration of mass slow and so on are also affected by your spell power.
And in light... well Divine Vengenace and Ressurection are dependant by spell power so it's stupid to say that light and dark magic don't have good use of spell power.

Ok SP is effective on them as well but cmon you are not gonna argue about how effective part right Its much more important in destructive magic, and dark and light magic can be used without much spell power, they would still be effective, destructive wont!

For instance Frenzy is better with a high SP but it's still a major nuisance even with very low SP.

Actually they are not  With haste the initiative ratio is 1.4/1=1.4 and with slow 1/0.6=1.66. In slow's case the effect is superior.

Yeah because I edited the title after the 1st, it was 3.1 is out!  If I remember correctly my vote was dark but I have changed a bit since then. I do believe that dark is generally stronger but it's more fun to buff yourself. I also adore regeneration 
But my current favourite is destructive. Especially when used by academy or dungeon, it's just fun to blow things up. Can be a bit erratic with what units you will encounter or what elemental resistance artifacts the opponent will find but direct spells with sorcery and possibly warlock's luck are too fun to pass by
Summoning easily rivals destructive in my book, has many creative uses. It's more of a combo jack of all trades magic which would be in top spot if not for a few things: I hate it when I get arcane armour instead of phoenix and fist of wrath instead of firetrap on creeping intensive maps. Also the fact that it is of limited use in certain situations, takes some time to see results when there may be no time to lose.
So, destructive, summoning, light and then dark. The gaps are not big, I enjoy all schools.

Voted for Summoning
I only now discover the full power and usefulnes of Summonig magic in ToT 3.1 mainly by introducing new spells but:
Fist o Wrath cheap spell but good against those with magic immunities or resistances.
Fire Trap - the do awsome job in any part of the game and let say that your Hero has 10 spellpower = 150 DMG * 8 Mines = and you have casted yourself an invisbile destructive magic spell that deals 1200 DMG, even on no mastery lvl with 2 spellpower you deal 140 DMG it is more then IceBolt. Of course there is matter of luck in placing them but when you learn how you will see the difference
Arcane Crystal - another spell that have specific use. It is blocker but mainly a well placed bomb that only need to be triggered by ranged shoot and boom the Skeleton Archers aren't so good in the mid late game because there isn't so much of them like the old times and they deal pathetic amounts of damage, but they can be useful in this startegy, your Necromancer 15SP places the Fireball and can't be resisted)It also can be good for Academy with their MoTW and Gremlins.
Wasp Swarm - in beging it can be usefull to slow down main targets(it is strange but it can be resisted ), but true usefulnes of this spell comes with Summon Wasp Hive spell
Raise Dead - this spell has it uses only for Necro and it is very rare
casted because of the -20%HP which IMO is too much 10, 12 or 15% would be better.(more dependences on the spell mastery)
Phantom Forces - duplicating your most powerful stack of creatures which will act after hero turn is like the duplicated stack had morale bonus and one extra or more turns without damage. The Phantoms are mostly very fragile and they die at the fist atempt but it is their purpose deal extra damage and steal some hits.(with luck)
Earthquake - This spell needs fixing IMO(or mod made). Mostly useless for me, i only use it when i want to win siege without loses(Necro) so i cast it till last Tower will be destroyed.
Blade Barrier - is excelent spell if you can cast it before the enemy army blocks your shooter. It HP and damage aren't impresive but it can save your shooter @@s for 1-2 turns. It is also good to cripple jousting or riders charge.
Summon Hive - there is nice spell 0.6 Init reducment, can make that the closest unit will never move until the hive is destroyed. The hive will be probably destoryed when there can be an chance so if you place it well and when enemy shooters are blocked or killed the only one way to destroy it is hero waisting it's turn on attacking it(This sometimes can be an real dilema for enemy hero). I don't have to say that you can summon as many as you can support and once there are well placed 2-3 hives it's blood bath time.This is mainly for Wizards(MotW and there huge mana reserves) tactic, but it also can prove useful for Necromancers.
Summon Elementals - this spell is rarelly used by me because i think that a elementals are weak(Air to small HP, Earth it's Init is just, Fire Elemental yes here i agree it isn't so weak but +1Init would make them better, Water Elementals with their nerfed Ice Spells)their amount aren't so great and they don't stack with which each other(Like in H3). It is more like 2-3 lvl spell for me.
Arcane Armour - This spell has it uses only when casted on offensive unit or with unlimited retaliation, high Init, on unit that needs some time and protection to weaken the enemys. I see no point in casting(waisting heroes turn) this spell when in another hero turn the Arcane Armour HP are gone and stack killed. this spell does wonders when stacked with high Defense and Exp. Defense skill(and with Absolute Protection Go Dwarves
Conjure Phoenix - Do i need to convince someone that this is great spell.
And thats why it is my favorite magic school

I'm under the opinion that dark magic is slighter stronger than other schools if you have what you need, but my favorite is light magic. I enjoy souping up my troops. Plus it has other nifty spells like regeneration, divine vengence (hehe) and resurrection. Last but not least, teleport is my favorite spell in the game because it's such a strategically limitless spell as well as a hard counter against frenzy.
In order my favorites are:
Light Magic
^
^
Summoning Magic
^
^
Dark Magic
^
^
^
^
Destructive Magic
Although as an exception, I enjoy using destructive magic with Academy because Mark of the Wizard, Magnetic Golems, and Elemental Gargoyles can make things lots of fun.

In early game Destructive owns everything.
Dark is the best in my opinion, followed closely by Light Magic.
Summoning is versatile but somehow I find it a bit weaker than others.
Still my favorite is Destructive because it helps your creeping a lot and even in the final battle it is deadly when cast by a high level warlock.

I like Sylvan + Empathy + Channeling + Ressurection. It's a killer, especially with High Knowledge (which is simply no problem for Sylvan)
and it's easy to get too
