Suggestions for new spells in an expansion pack
First of all I'd like to say that there's a bug in the 'fire ring' spell, if you can't select your own creatures to be the centre of the flames, then what's the points of this spell? You might aswell just use fireball, which does the same amount of damage. Really they should fix it so that you can cast flames around your creatures, so all it's attackers get burned.
Now for the new topic, which future spells would you like to see in an expansionpack?
Mine are:
-a mass version of stone skin (nature)
-land mine (not randomly anymore, but you can choose where you burry the mines, around five mines or so) (order)
-chant: The hero starts singing encouraging songs, this would go till you decide to make another movement with the hero. For every round the hero sings, all your creatures would get a +5% bonus to all stats. (life)
-lyrics of the dead: the oposite of the previous, -5% to all opposite creatures (death)
... (more to come)

just one
"Boot to the Head" which is class specific to monks, with a nice animation of a boot flying upside the enemy's head.
this could cause random damage depending on your power and level of skill attained, also, the animation could change, from the brown boots, to the red boots, to the snow shoe, to the sandle, to tan boots, depending on the day of the week, and the heroe's clothing or accessories

Storm: summons a storm that strikes (lighting bolt) random enemy every turn; can be dispelled - Nature

Time Stop: none of the enemy can move/attack until one of your own troops attack some one (no retallion + defence to 0) - Order

A life spell: Turn Undead
There should be some spell like Blind/Stun that can affect Undead.
Or another life spell: Sunray
Does massive damage to a Vampire stack
(perhaps 30 damage per vampire in that stack, to compensate the fast vampire growth with GM necro)

What do you mean? Haven't you played HOMM III? The tower has landmines as its moat. I really like that Twin and Decompose ideas.

well, if they can make dragon golems, then they will certainly be able to make mines.

Sorry for the messages above, i pressed enter by mistake (twice, if you believe)
Here are my spells
Wind (level 2 nature) : all creatures move 1 hex away from the hero
Horseback-riding (level 4 life) : the hero summons a horse and he/she or other hero can get "chivalry" (this could be a Combat or Tactics secondary skill) : Attack and defense +5, movement +5, speed +3, "hit and run" ability, no retaliation. It requires special design
Telekinesy (level 3 order) : the hero can move mechanical creatures several hexes depending on his level, he can remove obstacles and destroy a town's gate
Hell-hole (level 5 death) : living creatures in a 4X4 area fall into a hole and become skeletons. They don't dissapear after battle
Shame (level 5 chaos) : A hero's level/secondaty skill permanently dissapears. Can be cast once on a hero and once in a battle.

Pity: the stack/hero cannot harm a stack/hero with less hit points (opposite the cowardice) - Life

Brambles: Summons brambles on the battlefield, works like quicksand, although creatures don't get movement penatly, but they will get damaged based upon the level of the caster. (nature)
Amnesia: The selected stack forgets it's special ability for some turns. Spellcasters lose ability to cast spells, medusa lose stonegaze, minotaurs can't block anymore, etc... This is actually an improved version of forgetfulness, so ranged units lose their range attack too. Doesn't work on mechanical creatures or elementals. (order)
Eagle eye: Not with spells this time, but with abilities like the previous spell. Select a friendly stack and then an opposite stack. The friendly creature gets the abilities of the opposite stack. However the opposite stack doesn't lose the abilities and it can't be cast on mechanical creatures, elements, nor can abilities be duplicated from mechanical creatures, elements. (life)
Fire tornado: blows all creatures (friend of foe) standing in a triangle starting at the heroes hex away for twice the distance as displacement and does some damage based on the caster's level. does not work behind the castle wall. (chaos)
Chains: Two opposite creatures get chained together. The creatures can still move. But the creatures have touch eachother at atleast one hex. So a chained creature can move till it doesn't touch his partner anymore. Both creatures can still attack seperatly though. Doesn't work on insubstantial creatures. (death)

Beholder (upgraded precicion, level 4?, no mass version): removes all range/obstacle/line of sight (can shoot/cast spells behind walls and enemy troops) penalties from the target (ranged or spell caster) - Order
