Air Magic is a school of magic, along with Earth, Fire and Water Magic. There is a special rule in place that offers schools of magic more often as a choice when leveling up than the secondary skill learning percentages suggest: A new school of magic will be offered at least every 4 levels for Might heroes and every 3 levels for Magic heroes.

The hero will then be guaranteed to be offered a magic school at level 4. At level 8, the hero will be offered again a new magic school if none was offered at levels 5, 6 and 7. | Air Magic is a school of magic, along with Earth, Fire and Water Magic.

Like other magic schools, Air Magic is very important. At the expert level, [[Haste]] may help a lot as your entire army will possibly move before the enemy's army, and even some very slow units get decent speed. [[Dimension Door]] and [[Fly]] are extremely helpful for moving on the adventure map. [[Chain Lightning]] may wipe out the whole opposing army (while it's a double-edged sword, as if there are less than five stacks, Chain Lightning will damage your own troops - initially it hits four stacks, thus you get unable to use it against an enemy with that exact stacks number), and [[Lightning Bolt]] is useful on early stages of the game.
