Magic Arrow is a 1st level spell, alongside Visions, it is the only spell that belongs to all schools of magic.

Magic Arrow is one of the game's direct damage spells.

In the spell book, Magic Arrow will belong to the school with the highest secondary magic skill (e.g. Earth Magic). If a unit has resistance or vulnerability to a certain school, they will transfer to Magic Arrow as well, regardless of the skills of the casting hero.

NOTE: The damage of  Magic Arrow increases when the casting hero has any of the orbs (e.g. Orb of SiltOrb of Silt). The effect of multiple orbs do not stack.
