Expert Wisdom: allows your hero to learn fifth level spells. | |
Wisdom is a secondary skill that enables hero to learn 3rd, 4th and 5th level spells depending on the level of the skill. Heroes without Wisdom skill can learn 1st and 2nd level spells. Basic Wisdom enables hero to learn 3rd level spells, Advanced Wisdom enables to learn 4th level spells and Expert Wisdom enables to learn 5th level spells.
As opposed to what the manual states, Wisdom is not required to cast third or higher level spells, only to learn them. For example Solmyr has 4th level spell (Chain Lightning) but he is still able to cast it without Advanced Wisdom. Also spell scrolls and Tomes of Air, Earth, Fire and Water enables hero to cast any level of spell regardless of their level of Wisdom skill.
Wisdom will be offered at level 6 for Might heroes and Elementalists, and at level 3 for Magic heroes (exept Elementalists) if it was not offered before and the hero does not know Wisdom yet. In case Wisdom was declined, it will be offered again from whenever it was offered at most 6 levels later for Might heroes and Elementalists, and at most 3 levels later for Magic heroes (exept Elementalists). In HotA 
numbers for Elementalist class were changed to match the numbers for Magic oriented heroes.
