== Reasoning ==
''I lifted the magic schools ban for the few might classes that had it. While they could learn the skills from Witch Huts, they couldn't use Universities. Now that the Magic University is more expensive, I think it makes sense to let them learn that Fire Magic for its Berserk or Water Magic for the Water Walk. Moreover, with magic schools re-balanced, there is no longer a point in HotA heroes having their magic schools odds skewed against Air and Water and towards Earth - therefore I altered them to a more reasonable, lore-friendly division. ''

''Leena is considered to be one of the best secondary heroes, as level 3 Leena can bring your kingdom 1350 gold; this is equivalent to a level 7 Lord Haart. I made the two heroes now equally viable supports. ''

''Inteus's specialty does not work on his own units, as all elementals are immune to Bloodlust, and Phoenixes are immune to Fire Magic.
