Indubitably one of the most useless spells. The damage dealt doesn't scale enough with the Hero's Power, so it's a complete waste of mana unless your Power is 30+ and even then it doesn't even tickle enemy undead in the end-game. [[User:Cid SilverWing|Cid SilverWing]]
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.
