Hidden in Snow

[Meglobob]

Not cast this spell but does lvl of casting mage have anything to do with it? A lvl 7D mage, casting pale riders gets 33 pale riders, +13 more than normal. Anywhere in the manual you see a + sign means more effects for a higher lvl than needed to cast mage.

I bet casting it in winter is better than in summer (or possibly vice versa in this case), Illwinter seem to like influencing alot of effects by seasons.

Casting some spells with different scales/seasons can result in some unusual results now and again.

I cast it twice. Once, I got 1 chieftain, 5 warriors and about 15 regular unfrozens, which I found pitiful. On the second casting (other game), I got a chieftain, 5 warriors and 7 regulars, 2 mages (E2D1 and E2W2D2 if I recall well). The last mage is good, but the spell's still overly expensive and random in my opinion.
I haven't made any attempt to reproduce casting by season/mage/number of spells. I somehow doubt the number of castings has an effect, since these aren't unique, but I may be wrong.

Only D1 is needed to cast Hidden in Snow, so the mages provide both Earth and Death.

There isn't a + in the description. It's rather strange, really, only reading as "up to 25" Unfrozen and "up to 2" Unfrozen Mages. It's also missing the number of Unfrozen Warriors, and their stats.

I can't really say what spells are affected by seasons and what aren't, but if the description and the manual doesn't mention anything, it should be asked about and something should be added either to the spell's description or to the manual.
