The [[artifact]] [[Pendant of Death]] makes the wearer troops immune to this spell.

== Discussion ==
Destroy Undead is at its best when fighting against small number of scattered low-tier undead creatures. 

The damage does not scale enough to cause serious damage when fighting agains larger armies with stronger forces. 

One can easily calculate, that with a power skill of 20, Destroy Undead spell only does 250 points of damage at expert level, which means about two [[Dread Knight]]s. Typically there there are more usefull spells available than Destroy Undead for harming the enemy.

[[Orb of the Firmament]] and [[Sorcery]] might help increase the damage dealt.

[[Orb of the Firmament]] and [[Sorcery]] might help increase the damage dealt apart from spell points.

[[Animate Dead]] can over time repair the damage given mana points but requires some turns as it is not a splash heal as opposed to [[Destroy Undead]] damaging every undead on the battlefield.
