The power of water magic lies in the spells like [[bless]], [[dispel]] (or [[cure]]), [[teleport]], [[prayer]] and [[clone]]. Casting can significantly increase damage of creature stacks, and is especially useful on low-level creatures. With dispel and cure a hero can remove wanted spell effects, and they are almost compulsory when playing against human opponents. In sieges, the teleport spell can be devastating for the defender, if you consider a situation, where the attacker teleports [[Hydra and chaos hydra|chaos hydras]] inside the castle walls. While expert [[haste]] gives creatures +5 movement, the expert prayer gives +4 and therefore is almost as good. Last but not least, attacking with the clone does not only do damage, but also "removes" the counter attack, which can be even more important than the actual damage. Clone is also known for combining it with [[Angel and archangel|archangels]] [[resurrect]] ability. Additionally, [[water walk]] can not be ignored as very powerful [[adventure spell]].

The power of water magic lies in the spells like bless, dispel (or cure), teleport, prayer and clone. Casting can significantly increase damage of creature stacks, and is especially useful on low-level creatures. With dispel and cure a hero can remove wanted spell effects, and they are almost compulsory when playing against human opponents. In sieges, the teleport spell can be devastating for the defender, if you consider a situation, where the attacker teleports chaos hydras inside the castle walls. While expert haste gives creatures +5 movement, the expert prayer gives +4 and therefore is almost as good. Last but not least, attacking with the clone does not only do damage, but also "removes" the counter attack, which can be even more important than the actual damage. Clone is also known for combining it with archangels resurrect ability. Additionally, water walk can not be ignored as very powerful adventure spell.
