Summon Boat is a 1 level spell in the School of Water Magic. The spell may only be cast on the Adventure Map and next to a shoreline. In order to Summon Boat spell to work, there must be an unoccupied (free) tile to summon the boat. Additionally, on basic level there must also be an unoccupied boat. At advanced and expert level, a boat will be created if there are no free boats to summon. Summoning a boat will make the closest unoccupied boat to disappear, which sometimes can lead to tactical choice to cast the spell.
Discussion
It is referred in the description of expert level Summon Boat spell, that the spell could fail if all possible 64 boats are occupied. However, boats cannot be summoned if a hero is already in a boat, and there can only be 64 heroes wandering on the Adventure Map at the same time. This leads to a situation, that if all heroes are in the boats, none of them can cast the spell.
