It has the same short range as Enlarge, but an AOE of 10; this means it can affect units further away, if the caster targets someone at the edge of their range.   - **??Army of Giants??** is a Level 6 Alteration that requires {{path>N3}} and costs {{gems>1N}}; or, if you're desperate, {{path>N2}} and {{gems>2N}}.
