==Description==
Air Magic is easily overrated, due to good damage spells and adventure [[Adventure spell|map movement spells]]. However, the first groups strength decrease when [[stack]] sizes grow, and the spells in the second category are [[banned]] more often than not. What remains is a few good spells, and a handful of mediocre ones. [[Haste]] and [[Lightning Bolt]] are both very useful, [[Chain Lightning]] does good damage, but can easily backfire. [[Counterstrike]] can be an enormous aid, especially when cast on [[Hydra]]s or [[Vampire Lord]]s. However, Air Magic's greatest assets are [[Dimension Door]] and [[Fly]], which can get your [[Hero]] into places he or she couldn't have gotten into otherwise, or be used to launch a surprise attack on an enemy [[town]]. The other spells are at best of circumstancial use.

== Comments & debate ==
The main reasons for choosing air magic are [[fly]], [[dimension door]] and [[haste]] spells. The first two are most powerful adventure map spells together with [[town portal]]. However, fly and dimension door are often banned from custom maps. Nevertheless, expert air magic causes haste to be cast at [[mass spell]], which makes it worth the secondary skill slot.
