-Battle magic can only be cast during a tactical battle.  These spells have battle effects like inflicting damage, [[combat summons|summoning units]], granting increased [[protection]], reducing [[fatigue]], or some similar effect which only makes sense in the context of the battle mechanics.  Battle magic can be scripted into a mage’s list of battle actions using Set battle orders.  If a battle spell requires [[gems]], that mage must have those gems in his inventory before the battle begins. +Battle [[magic]] can only be cast during a tactical battle.  These spells have battle effects like inflicting damage, [[combat summons|summoning units]], granting increased [[protection]], reducing [[fatigue]], or some similar effect which only makes sense in the context of the battle mechanics.  Battle magic can be scripted into a mage’s list of battle actions using Set battle orders.  If a battle spell requires [[gems]], that mage must have those gems in his inventory before the battle begins.

-When picking a target the mage will generally go for the square with the highest damage potential. This means that units with high hit points per square and no elemental resistances are more likely to be targeted by damage spells than other units.+When picking a target the mage will generally go for the square with the highest damage potential.
