Force Field is a 3rd level spell in the School of Earth Magic. The spell creates an impassable wall, that can only be removed by expert Remove Obstacle or expert Dispel. It should be noted, that the duration of force field is always two rounds. It can not be increased with spell power or artifacts (Ring, Collar or Cape of Conjuring).

AI cannot cast this spell.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Force field is used to block enemy ground troops from advancing. It is often used in this purpose to protect shooters or at least give them more time to thin enemy troops. It becomes very useful in battle fields with suitable obstacles, that create narrow paths or pockets. Even in a totally clear battle field, with expert earth magic a three wide force field can protect one hex size troops on the edge of the field. Although quite hypotetical situtation, a basic force field can be used to protect troops using defending hero's corners.

Force field is specially useful against CPU-players, because they never use remove obstacle spell against you, although sometimes they use expert dispel.
