AuthorBasic Holy Magic
hi all,

The description for the Basic Holy Magic talent states:

Hero can learn level 3 Holy Magic school spells.

I read somewhere that in order to use the above, you must first have built the Magic Guild 3 in your Castle.

Now I find this puzzling - If I have already build my Magic Guild 3, I would have been able to use Magic Guild Level 3 magic spells anyway, why need to state the obvious in the Basic Holy Magic talent description?

It's like a talent saying: "Shooters are now able to shoot".

It just don't make sense.. unless I'm missing something...
well, these spells are the best of the best (or something) so to use them you must be talented!

in other words, It just don't make sense
you build magic guild, but you still need to learn from the magic guild, and you need talent for that
you build magic guild, but you still need to learn from the magic guild, and you need talent for that

Hi straws, I don't get you.

If what I experienced from building my Magic Guilds 1 & 2 is anything to go by - Once I build my Magic Guild Level 3 (when I get to level 10), then I already 'learned' the level 3 spells (eg: Chastise, Weakness etc), right? Why do I need a talent for that?

Sorry if this sounds like a stoopid Q. haha..

Thanks in advance.
For level 3 magic you need both the magic guild 3 and basic holy magic talent. For level 1-2 magics you don't need any talents, but for level 3 and above you need both the building and the talent.
Magic Guild III gives you the spells for you to learn.

Basic Talents gives you the ability to learn these spells.

for Jedi-Knight:

It's like a talent saying: "Shooters are now able to shoot".


Using your analogy, the Guild gives you the ammunition (arrows), the Talent gives you the bow. You need both.
Well, its borrowed directly from HoMMV

The guild allows the availability of spells. But just because you have Harvard available in the US, not everyone can study there. You need to have a minimum GMAT score (in this case Basic Holy Magic talent) to study there. The guild is infrastructure. The talent is ability to learn. You need both.

Btw, level 1 and level 2 spells were considered easy and hence even the uninitiated (no talents) can learn there. Hope I clarified some things
you know, in HOMM V, there are five levels of magic. If you wanna cast level 3 spells, you need to have magic guild 3 and respective basic magic talent (chaos, dark, holy, or nature) OR you can have wisdom talent which allows you to learn lvl 3 spells of ANY magic school :)

If you wanna cast lvl 4 spells, you need m. guild 4 and advanced magic talent. If lvl 5, m. guild 5 and expert magic talent. It's quite easy system, but since here is only lvl 3 magic (yet, I hope :) ) it may be confusing to someone with no experience with HOMM V.
