Spells and Creatures mod made by me
Hi. I want your opinion on this small mod I made a couple of months ago but forgot to post here. Here is what it does:
Changes the names of some spells. The reason I did this is because I prefer one-word spell names that are easy to remember and sound better. I hated the "Puppet master" and "Divine Strength", because they sounded too bulky and unexciting
Changes the properties of some spells. Smaller changes here, basically increasing the efficiency of Destructive magic school by 10-15%. Some minor changes to other spells, too.
Changes the names of some creatures. No real purpose here, just hated some crap like "Magnetic Golem" and "Arcane Archer" and used some poethic-sounding names.
Changes the stats of some creatures. Minor changes.
LIST OF CHANGES:
Spells:
Divine strength is now called BLESS.
Endurance is now called STONESKIN.
Regeneration is now called REMEDY and costs 6 mana.
Cleansing now costs 8 mana.
Righteous Might is now called CRUSADE.

^ all the destructive spells' damages are additionaly boosted by 5-15% for the different spells.
Fist of Wrath is now called ARCANE FIST.
Fire trap now costs 5 mana and summons 3,4,5 and 6 mines at different masteries.

That's pretty much all I can remember. Please, share your opinions about this. If you don't like it, there is no need to post hateful comments. I did the mod to make the gameplay more smooth. I'll try to upload the mod sometime tomorrow, because I cannot find it on my filled Hard-disk

Yeah it's a return to simplicity and names of H3 but it's a good idea for those who love H3 above else. A I am also thinking thta Destructive Magic spell slightly Damage Increase, Maybe Wasp Swarm and Earthquake with Stunning ability too but hadn't got the time to do this.
Good Work And i'm eager to see the changes.
P.S. Resurection cost 21 Mana

No, I meant Arch Demon - the 3rd alternative upgrade. The Arch Devil remains with it's old name 
The mana cost of Resurrection is a mistake - it costs 20 mana, not 21
P.S. - I forgot to mention that I have also renamed a few of the secondary perks:
Magic Insight - Wisdom
Mana Regeneration - Mysticism
Battle Frenzy - Precision
Arcane Intuition - Eagle Eye
Resourcefullness - Serendipity
Arcane Training - Clarity
^ These names were not made up by me. These perks are called so in the game's data folders! For some reason, Nival changed them with their crappy names in the last moment.
In fact, here are some simple tables I made with the new stats. Hope you appreciate it:

25 Mana for Implosion? It was already too weak (it was dealing only double damage than Lightning Bolt but had a cost of 18 versus 5 - now you made it cost even more mana)

Thanks for yout opinion. Yeah, I know what Incubus is - something like a male version of the Succubus... Probably you are right, the name doesn't fit the Pit Spawn slot too well

Honestly, I don`t like your "new" names... with some exceptions - that means I wouldn`t mind if Raise Dead would be Animate Dead for example.
But I think you had two very good ones - Wasp Hive and Illumination(!)
Blizzard is so overused and I think Deep Freeze is perfect. And I don`t see why you dislike Puppet Master. And please, don`t use Arcane Fist, this game has too many "arcane" already.
But keep up the good work, don`t feel bad cus I don`t feel home with H3ish names.
