'''Mysticism''' is one of [[secondary skill]]s. Normally heroes regenerate one [[spell point]] per day, but mysticism enables heroes to regenerate up to four points per day.
'''Hydras and Chaos Hydras ''' are level 7 creatures of [[Fortress town]]. They are recruited from the [[Hydra Pond]].


''"Hydras and chaos hydras are multiheaded serpents attacking with vicious bites. When they attack, they attack all adjacent enemy troops. This attack is so overwhelming no counterstrike is possible."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 95|RoE manual]]''</sup>
In [[Horn of the Abyss]] {{withhota}}, the skill regenerates 5, 10, and 15 spell points per day.


Hydras and Chaos Hydras, as well as all living [[Dragons]], can be transformed into [[Bone Dragon|Bone Dragons]] at a [[Skeleton Transformer]].

== Overall Tactics ==
'''Heroes who specialize in Mysticism:'''
Neither Hydras nor Chaos Hydras have any immunities, and they are the slowest level 7 creatures in the game. But when the hero has expert teleport, the Hydras and Chaos Hydras are excellent as siege warfare; teleport them behind walls and the will wreak major havoc on enemy troops. Counterstrike is devastating if the enemy surrounds them; each time they attack or counterattack, they damage all enemy troops around them.

Hydras and Chaos Hydras are generally regarded as the worst 7th level creature, serving only as a relatively strong defensive unit and guard for [[Ranged attack]] type units. In addition to their slow speed and lack of ranged attack or flight, their strongest ability - attacking multiple foes without retaliation - typically depends on opponents choosing to surround the hydra with melee attackers. While this can be devastating when the right battle is fought, more often than not your Hydras and Chaos Hydras will be outpaced, outshot, tied down with spells and tangled up in obstacles for the majority of the battle.

* {{An|Talisman of Mana}} – allows your hero to regenerate 2 extra spell points per day.
* {{An|Mystic Orb of Mana}} – allows your hero to regenerate 3 extra spell points per day.
* {{An|Wizard's Well}} - a [[combination artifact]] (which were introduced in {{sod}}). It is assembled from Charm of Mana, Talisman of Mana and Mystic Orb of Mana. When equipped, Wizard's Well regenerates hero's all spell points in a day.

A few chaos hydras defending a castle is about the best overall defense-for-cost strategy in the game. If you have a hero that can cast [[fire shield]], [[counterstrike]], [[shield]], or [[anti-magic]] you can potentially defend a Fortress Town against an attacking army many times more formidable. Leave your hydras to defend and send your primary hero out with creatures level 1-6
