Force field is a 3rd level spell in the School of earth magic. The spell creates an impassable wall, that can only be removed by expert remove obstacle. It should be noted, that the duration of force field is always two rounds. It can not be increased with spell power or artifacts (Ring, Collar or Cape of Conjuring).

Strategy

Force field is used to block enemy ground troops from advancing. It is often used in this purpose to protect shooters or at least give them more time to thin enemy troops. It becomes very useful in battle fields with suitable obstacles, that create narrow paths or pockets. Even in a totally clear battle field, with expert earth magic a three wide force field can protect one hex size troops on the edge of the field. Although quite hypotetical situtation, a basic force field can be used to protect troops using defending hero's corners.

Comments & debate

Force field is specially useful against CPU-players, because they never use remove obstacle spell against you.

-==Comments==
-Underrated spell.<br>
-It has two main uses: to block enemy walkers from going down a narrow path, and to protect shooters from attacks.
-The latter capability can be VERY useful
-against the AI in certain situations if you have a large stack of shooters ([[Titan]]s being the most obvious).  If you place them in the upper left corner, you can cover the
-[[Ammo Cart]] as well with the Force Field, and if you are facing 2-hex non-ranged enemies who are slower than you (or can be made slower by [[Haste]], [[Slow]], and/or [[Prayer]]), you
-cannot lose even against a much superior force.  A human opponent of course would be able to circumvent your plan in a number of ways...
-'''Note:''' Spell duration is NOT increased by any of the spell-duration boosting artifacts ([[Ring of Conjuring|Ring]], [[Collar of Conjuring|Collar]]& [[Cape of Conjuring]]).
