Destroy Undead is a 3rd level spell in the School of Air Magic. It causes damage to all undead creatures on the battlefield – including the caster's troops.
Immunities
All non-undead creatures are natrually immune to the spell. Additionally, artifact Pendant of Death can make undead troops immune to the spell. If all creatures on the battlefield are immune to Destroy Undead (either through not being undead or through their Hero having a Pendant of Death), the spell cannot be cast. Destroy Undead can be cast when it will only harm one's own troops.
Discussion
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 against 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 Knights. Naturally, Orb of the Firmament and/or Sorcery can increase the damage, but typically there are more useful spells available than Destroy Undead for harming the enemy.
