Bugs

This campaign features a bug unique among SoD campaigns (with a slight exception of the secret campaign, which doesn't have the mentioned limitations at all): in its first scenario (Graduation Exercise) neither high-level Mage Guild) nor overpowered, campaign-breaking spells (namely Dimension door and Fly) are banned (they are properly banned in scenarios 2-4 in EoL though). As a result, it's completely possible to do an insane rush through this campaign on Impossible Difficulty (similarly to RoA or AB campaigns), especially when combined with an Intelligence-based Magic secondary hero with Air Magic and Earth Magic (e.g. Caitlin, which also gives a great starting bonus to Gold).Template:Keywords
