Abilities
Quick notes
- Core abilities by task. Switching heroes is part of solving the level.
- Later tools change available routes. New skills are found during the campaign and then improved with experience.
- Original energy rules. The original game uses energy for wizard magic and certain upgraded weapons.
- Choose an upgrade that solves a problem. More conjured objects improve construction options; stronger weapons help crowded fights.
