The usual way a hero learns new spells is by visiting a Mage Guild. Mage Guilds are special buildings inside of a city that allow you to unlock new spells for your heroes to use. Mage guilds & spells are divided up into 5 tiers of increasing complexity & power. While any hero can learn spells of the first two tiers, tier 3 spells and higher will require the hero to learn specific [[Skills]] in order to be able to use those spells. | The usual way a hero learns new spells is by visiting a Mage Guild.

When a Mage Guild is first constructed, and for every tier upgrade that is built, 4 spells of the appropriate tier are randomly unlocked for a visiting hero to learn. Each turn, an additional spell can be researched and unlocked by paying an additional cost in precious resources.

While spells have a maximum effective level of 4, you can increase its actual level beyond that. This is because there are a number of effects that reduce the levels of enemy spells in the game. When you engage in battle with another hero, your actual spell levels are measured against any negative effects the opponent may have, and your spells' effective level is determined from that. | |||
