-== Discussion ==
-Despite being flashy and a 5th level spell, Magic Mirror serves very little function in the game. [[Faerie Dragon]]s are well-protected by its effects, but by the time you have a hero with the mana and a [[Mage guild]] upgraded to the highest level, there are likely at least a few spells in your spellbook you'll more want to cast in combat. Arguably this spell would not have been overpowered even if it could be [[mass cast]] like [[slow]], [[prayer]], or [[curse]]. And because only one [[troop stack]] can be targeted for protection, it will almost never be the ideal choice to cast in combat.
