The Fear spell was a disabled feature of Restoration of Erathia version 1.2. The spell would not appear in Mage Guilds, but could be "found" after defeating the guards in a Pyramid, upon which the following message was given: "Upon defeating the monsters, you decipher an ancient glyph on the wall, telling the secrets of the spell - 'Fear ( disabled )'." As the message says, the spell was disabled, and it would not appear in the hero's spell book. The feature was removed in Restoration of Erathia version 1.3.

Trivia[edit | hide | hide all]

  • According to Greg Fulton in Fanstratics Newsletter #5, "The Fear spell was 'cut' because it was little more than 'bad morale' in another form. Later, I thought it was better to convert the mechanic into the Fear ability for the Azure Dragon."
