====== Strength of Giants ======

**??Strength of Giants??** is an excellent [[Combat Magic]] spell, a [[Research|Level 3]] [[Enchantment]] that requires {{path>E3}} and zero [[Gems]] to use. It applies a +4 [[Strength]] bonus to friendly troops and [[Commander|Commanders]] in a **very** large area, around 25 squares.

===== Are There Alternatives? =====

Sort of. **??Earth Might??** applies the exact same effect to a //single// square; it's a Level 1 [[Alteration]] that requires only {{path>E2}}. These do not stack.

Alternatively, **??Strength of Gaia??** applies this, [[Protection#Boosting-Protection|Barkskin]], and 10% [[Regeneration]] to just the caster; it's a Level 4 [[Conjuration]] that requires {{path>N3E1}}.

Last but not least, **??Rush of Strength??** applies this to your entire army; it's a Level 8 [[Blood Magic]] spell that requires {{path>B3}} and {{gems>1B}}.

Alternatively, if you're a [[Demon]], **??Blood Lust??** applies it to you (if the caster's on your side); it requires only {{path>B2}} and {{gems>1B}}, and comes at Level 4.
===== What if I lack High Earth? =====

No problem! Just give an {{path>E2}} mage {{gems>1E}}! Or if you're in no rush in the battle, have the {{path>E2}} cast **??Summon Earthpower??** instead; it's a Level 3 Conjuration that provides the necessary pathboost without needing a Gem, along with [[Reinvigoration]].
