Need to fix one or more of these possible problems with the user commentary text: |
For a mostly magical hero, Intelligence is useful. In classic Heroes 3, Expert Intelligence means that every spell can be cast twice more often than usually, making a spell like Resurrection or Town Portal much more affordable. The best time of Intelligence is mid-game, when getting e.g. 100 spell points instead of 50 may be crucial for a major battle. Horn of the Abyss debuffs this skills and buffs Mysticism, possibly so as to balance them between each other. Don't forget to reload mana prior to major missions.
