Visions is a 2nd level spell, and along with the Magic Arrow the only only spells that belong to all schools of magic. Unofficially Visions is one of the adventure spells.

Discussion

Visions is one of the most useful spells in the game. Especially in the early stages of the map it is useful to determine whther or not a a stack of wandering creatures will join or flee. This can be a significant advantage later in the game, if the map is explored more rapidly than the other kingdoms. Together with Diplomacy skill, which allows wandering creatures more easily to join the hero's army, Visions can form a powerful combination allowing hero to gather an army of wandering creatures. Later in the game Visions can reveal the exact values of enemy hero's primary skills and the number of troops in the army. It should be noted, that not even the Disguise can nullify the effect of Visions.

-Be advised, this spell does NOT nullify an enemy Hero's [[Disguise]] spell. He will still see the numbers, but not the correct creature types.

-This spell can be considered one of the neutral spells.  Most of the time it will collect dust but if you have [[Diplomacy]] as a skill you can better manage the collection of extra creatures.  If there are 'special' dragons such as [[Faerie Dragon]]s or [[Rust Dragon]]s or even other 7th level units one can get quite a bargain by learning beforehand that they don't have to pay valuable resources like [[Sulfur]] for their services.
-Alternatively if you're the kind of player that demands knowing the exact numbers of enemy troops, this spell will help you pick your fights much better.
