====== Who Has Magic Weapons? ======

One commonly-chosen [[Bless]] effect is **Magic Weapons**, which makes the weapon attacks of blessed units able to ignore [[Ethereal|Etherealness]] and [[Invulnerability]]. Most [[Combat Magic]] also ignores those things, but Magic Weapons are generally easier to use. Everyone can forge [[Items|Magic Items]], too, but having troops or commanders with personal magic weapons saves valuable [[Gems]]. So who has Magic Weapons?

This page will go over what each nation has as an option, including if their [[Sacred]] units **already have** Magic Weapons, or if the nation even has Sacred troops. The columns list if the nation has any Magic Weapons outside of forging or [[Summon Spells|Ritual Summoning]], followed by if its Sacred troops (if it has any) have Magic Weapons, followed by if its best sacred "[[thug]]" (combat-ready [[commander]]) has weapons, followed by non-sacred units that have them. The first column will have an "X" if no troops with magic weapons are readily available without summoning or Gems. National and Regional Summons will not be listed at all if they cost Gems, unless they're especially noteworthy for the nation.

==== Generic Summons ====

Gems can be spent to procure troops with Magic Weapons, in case you need them. Almost everyone has an option!

^ Path ^ Summons ^
| [[Fire|{{:misc:magic:fire.png?nolink}}]]| Fire has multiple options. ??Fire Elemental??s, ??Fire Snake??s, and ??Will o' the Wisp#527??s all have unlimited magic attacks; the first two of those listed have AOE 1 attacks, so they also bypass [[Defence skill]]. These all do Fire damage, however, so [[Fire Resistance]] will take the edge off of them. On top of that, only the Fire Elemental's attack can be boosted with [[Strength of Giants]]. There are also ??Fire Drake??s, which have a limited number of large-AOE Fire attacks that scale off of Strength, though these are not reliably used.   |
| [[Air|{{:misc:magic:air.png?nolink}}]]| Air has the Lightning Swarm, a single-target melee attack that does 6 Shock damage. These do not scale with [[Strength]], but they also ignore [[Protection]], aside from [[Shock Resistance]]. ??Air Elemental??s and ??Spring Hawk??s use this attack, but the former will [[Trample]] instead if it's larger than its target, and Trampling is not a magical attack. \\ If you add {{:misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}Nature, you'll get an ??Amphiptere?? that spits magic Poison at foes! [[Poison Resistance]] comes into play against that. Mixing {{:misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}Earth into Air gives you a ??Watcher??, which uses Lightning at range, but which doesn't move.   |
| [[Water|{{:misc:magic:water.png?nolink}}]]| Water has somewhat-limited, somewhat-unreliable options. These are the ??Winter Wolf?? and the ??Ice Drake??; the Winter Wolf uses an AOE-1 Cold attack half of the time that it can, while the Ice Drake has a limited number of wider-AOE Cold attacks that it uses at the same rate. Only the Ice Drake's attack scales with Strength, and it also ignores Protection. Both go against [[Cold Resistance]]. There are also ??Gelatinous Cube??s with melee Acid attacks which [[rust]] Armor, but these prefer to Trample. \\ Add {{:misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink}}Fire to get ??Green Lion??s, which spit AOE-1 blobs of Acid at range! Alternatively, you can add {{:misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}Earth to get ??Cave Cow??s, whose spit hits single targets. Or add {{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}Death to get a ??Catoblepas??, which has a Death Ray.   |
| [[Earth|{{:misc:magic:earth.png?nolink}}]]| Earth has ??Cave Grub??s; they aren't ideal, but their attacks do Acid damage to single targets. You'll need a cave to summon them.   |
| [[Astral|{{:misc:magic:astral.png?nolink}}]]| Astral needs its crosspaths. With {{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}Death, you get ??Ether Warrior??s at a somewhat-high price. With {{:misc:magic:water.png?14&nolink}}Water, you get an ??Abomination?? with a giant Death Ray towards the end of the game. |
| [[Death|{{:misc:magic:death.png?nolink}}]]| Death has plenty of options; ??Wight??s, ??Ghost??s, ??Dispossessed Spirit??s, ??Shade Beast??s, ??Lammashta??s, and ??Shade??s. Wight attacks cause [[Decay]], Ghost and Lammashta attacks have [[Life Drain]], Dispossessed Spirit attacks cause [[Paralysis]], Shade attacks steal [[Strength]] from the target, and Shade Beast attacks Reanimate those they kill to serve you. [[Magic Resistance]] oppose Dispossesed Spirit and Shade attacks, as well as the Decay effect of the Wights. Lammashtas are neutral, by the way. \\ Add {{:misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink}}Fire and you'll get ??Corpse Candle#528??s and ??Longdead Archer#535??s; the former applies Decay at melee, while the latter does it at range.    |
| [[Nature|{{:misc:magic:nature.png?nolink}}]]| Pure Nature doesn't offer many magical attacks, but you can always Awaken a ??Sleeper?? if you need //something//; that guy has both a melee and a ranged magic weapon. Alternatively, if you're expecting unwanted company, then you can steal their Strength with ??Woodland Spirit??s. \\ Crosspaths provide magic [[Fatigue]] and magic [[Poison Damage]]. Fatigue is provided by the ??Manikin?? and ??Mandragora?? from mixing Nature with good-ol' {{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}Death, and at range by ??Sprite??s summoned with a bit of {{:misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}Air. Magic Poison is supplied with {{:misc:magic:water.png?14&nolink}}Water; ??Bog Beast??s blast single targets at range with it, while ??Swamp Drake??s apply it with an AOE.  |
| [[Blood|{{:misc:magic:blood.png?nolink}}]]| Pure Blood lets you dump ??Demonic Locust??s anywhere; these aren't ideal to have sitting around in your own borders, but they have magic melee attacks. If you include Commanders, then the ??Succubus?? has a magic attack as well. \\ If you include crosspaths, then {{:misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink}}Fire provides ranged Fire attacks from ??Fiery Imp??s and ??Devil??s, {{:misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}Air provides a Shock-enhanced magic melee and ranged Shock attacks from ??Storm Demon??s, {{:misc:magic:water.png?14&nolink}}Water provides an element-less magic melee and a ranged Cold attack from ??Frost Fiend??s, and {{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}Death provides Life-Draining melee attacks from ??Vampire??s. The [[Horrors]] from mixing Blood with {{:misc:magic:astral.png?14&nolink}}Astral have magic attacks, too.  |
