'''Primary skills''' are characteristics of [[hero]]es and [[creature]]s. There are four different primary skills: [[Primary skill#attack_skill|attack]], [[Primary skill#defense_skill|defense]], [[Primary skill#power_skill|power]] and [[Primary skill#knowledge_skill|knowledge]] skill. Attack and defense can be categorized as ''might skills'' while power and knowledge are ''magic skills''. | |||

=== Spells altering attack skill === | |||
Mana spent skilled is the spent mana cost being reduced because of specialilsation in the magic variant and thus having [[Earth Magic]], [[Fire Magic]], [[Water Magic]] or [[Air Magic]] (whatever school the spell is in, some first level or second level ones are universal and belong to more than one school) as a secondary skill (no matter if on basic, advanced or expert). | |||

Defense skill together with attack is the one of the main factors affecting the amount of [[Damage calculation|damage]] creatures under hero's command deals. | |||
''' | It should be noted, that while ''defen<u>c</u>e'' is acceptable spelling, it is always spelled ''defen<u>s</u>e'' in {{homm}}. However, it is spelled as ''defence'' in {{hc}}. | ||

Frenzy and Prayer from the "attack modifying spells" were mentioned before so they are the first spells to be mentioned in defense modifying spells here. | |||
[[Stone Skin]] is worse than [[Shield]]. | |||
[[Air Shield]] is bugged and increases the damage from [[Arrow Towers]]. | |||
The Spells stack and can be used in paralell (only 3 effected spells are displayed - maybe using a 4th spell overrides spells stored so far). | |||
== Spell power skill == | |||
Spell power (also just power) is the main factor for damage and duration of the [[spell]]s. By default, all heroes start with at least one point in this skill. However, a mapmaker might set the starting skill to 0. In that case, the hero will look and function as if he had 1 point, but when he receives his first point, it will not have any effect. | |||
== Knowledge skill == | |||
The knowledge skill determines the maximum amount of [[spell point]]s a hero may have. It is calculated by multiplying knowledge with ten, so knowledge of 13 would give a hero a natural maximum of 130 spell points. | |||
However, with the [[secondary skill]] [[intelligence]] this maximum can be increased | |||
by 25 % at basic (adding 1/4 of 10 per 1 skill point, 2.50 points additional so it becomes 12.50 points mana per point knowledge), | |||
by 50% at advanced (adding 1/2 of 10 per 1 skill point, 5 points additional so it is now 15 points mana per knowledge point) and | |||
by 100% at expert level (being double the 10 points per skill point, making it 20 points per knowlege skill point). | |||
This would mean, that with knowledge 13 and an expert level of intelligence, a hero would have maximum of 260 spell points. | |||
Additionally, with [[mana vortex]] or [[magic spring]] hero can temporarily double the spell points, which means that with expert intelligence, the maximum spell points will be quadruple of the original. | |||
Like with power, all heroes typically start with at least one point in this skill. However, a mapmaker may set the starting skill to 0. In that case, the hero will look and function as if he had 1 point, but when he receives his first point, it will not have any effect. | |||
