  • Enchanters only cast mass spells and they do it in the beginning of their turn and do not lose their chance to attack in the process.
  • Several creatures cast after an attack.

Perhaps the most renowed spellcasters in Restoration of Erathia version, are the Master Genies, who can cast several different spells. The expansion Armageddon's Blade introduced Faerie Dragons and Enchanters, who also can cast several different spells, as well as Storm, Ice, Energy and Magma elementals, who can each cast protection from their own school of magic.
