Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

For a mostly magical hero, Intelligence is useful. The best time of Intelligence is mid-game, when getting e.g. 100 spell points instead of 50 may be crucial for a major battle. Horn of the Abyss Horn of the Abyss debuffs this skill and buffs Mysticism, possibly so as to balance them between each other. Don't forget to reload mana prior to major missions.

Intelligence is a excellent supportive secondary skill. Especially in large and extra large maps, where heroes grow to be more "mighty and magical", the amount of mana points may become crucial. For example, resurrecting a large army can consume massive amount of mana points. Dungeon heroes may be able to pass Intelligence, because they typically have the opportunity to build Mana Vortex in their cities, which basically has the same effect as expert Intelligence – the spell point maximum is doubled. However, enormous spell points amount (4 times more than usual) can make a Warlock with Intelligence almost invincible.
