The most powerful of them all is Town Portal, which with expert Earth Magic enables hero to teleport to any allied town with a mere cost of 20 spell points and 300 movement points. This alone would be excellent feature, but what makes it truly great spell is that a hero can cast Town Portal unlimited times, provided that he has spell points or movement points left.
