Counter to darkness spell? - Page 2

frozen heart and incinerate are also 100% hit spells. as well as disintegrate, I believe.

I'm not sure air or earth get one, but all the other paths have a spell like this, and incinerate even comes on a non-artifact magic item.

Light, and it's counterpoint, is one new path of magic that I'm definitely requesting having added to the game. Unless you're working on your tan instead of sitting in front of a computer, I'm sure it's pretty obvious that there's a distinction between fire and light. Hopefully this and other matters can be explored and cleared up as the magic system grows.

Yyyes, all we need are 'Whoracle casts Darkness' 'Burunduk casts Light' 'Whoracle casts Darkness' 'Burunduk casts Light' 'Whoracle casts Darkness' style deadlocks.
Fun.

A better solution would be to have the counter be a 'Grant Darkvision' spell. If it only affects a small number of troops at a time, or only grants partial darkvision, it seems properly balanced to counter a darkness strategy without entirely eliminating its value.
