Normally, you know the strength of a hero's army as lots, horde, etc...With Identify Hero, you can learn exactly how many of each unit a hero has, and the stats of that hero also! This is a good spell to use in conjunction with View Heroes, since you can get good information about your enemy. There's the saying,"know your enemy..." |

Use this spell to reveal the whole map. |
 |
| Town Gate |
Return to the nearest unoccupied town or castle, that you own, immediately by using this spell. |
 |
| Dimension Door |
Use this spell to move in leaps and bounds. The screen centers on the casting hero, who chooses a level spot on the screen to immediately go there. This is a good method to bypass mountains or trees, or even bodies of water if the distance is not too great. This spell uses some movement when cast, so keep that in mind. You cannot dimension door from a ship to land, or vise versa. |
