The spell places quicksand pits randomly in combat field hexes. They are invisible to enemy hero, unless the hero has a creature fighting on [[native terrain]]. A creature stack that tries to move through a hex with quicksand pit is halted and cannot act until next round. Once a pit is stepped on, it is revealed for all to see. A unique property of the Quicksand spell is that it lasts infinitely during any battle, regardless of the user's spell power.
Quicksand can be a useful spell if you know, that enemy hero's army is fighting in non native terrain. Specially in sieges, when enemy may have only few places to enter castle walls, a succesfully placed quicsand pit is most valuable. Also, in wandering creature stack in can be useful, because AI alwasy attacks troops if they are within range. Moving the fastest unit behind a quicksand pit makes enemy troops try to attack it and causes them to spent their movement, which gives you more time to shoot down the enemy with your ranged troops.
