Yeah, but stunning there was a bit ridiculous: I remember how I kept 2,5k skeleton archers completely immobile with lightning and shadow matriarchs' slow for all combat

I changed Arcane Armor to 0.5% per spellpower. I realized it was a little too powerful

Yes, I'm surprised that nobody wrote that it can be cleansed yet. That's why this spell is a waste against a knight :X It can be harmtouched away, too.

As usual, Nival reduce something overpowered to underpowered instead of balancing it 
in 1.0 stunning did 0.3 multiply (overpowered)
now it deals a pathetic 0.7 (underpowered)
I bet the best solution lies in 0.5, which is in between, but as we all know Nival

Maybe there should be some magic oriented troops that increase freezing effects, stunning effects, spellpower(for example: each Shadow Matriarch could increase empowered bonus by 1% or maybe 0.5% so that a Warlock finally has a useful troop), knowledge or other destructive and summoning features so that those magic schools could scale accordingly depending on player's army. Light and dark mass spells scale according to a quantity of a stack and stay useful throughout the whole game.

I added a duration of 0.2*SP for Magic Immunity. It seems reasonable, because other high level dark spells like Blind have a short duration too

Apat from all the changes that all of you are suggesting, perhaps all combat spells in the game should have level requirement like adventure spells? If it was lets say 1 for 1st level spells, 3 for 2, 6 for 3, 10 for 4 and 15 for 5 level spells, it would surely force players to creep more agressively as well as prevent all those over-empowered high level destructive spells, puppet masters and ressurections from beeing used in early rushes

Raising the cost of Mage Guilds (as in HoMMIII) would be better.
About Arcane Armour: I would rather have the Armour have less hitpoints, but absorb *all* damage instead of lots of hit points and absorb a portion of the damage.
I have tried this, and it works really well in the game. Arcane Armour should be just as useful as Summon Phoenix.

Yes, I thought of that too, I'll add another version of this spell

It was reduced from heroesIII value for a reason. HoMMIII guild costs were ridiculous.

It would become a better ressurection.. well, sort of. I think it works OK now.

Yes, but maybe make Celestial Shield a new Light Magic spell that will absorb *all* damage?

You just say that because training is still overpowered. Is should be limited not to number of units but rather to "points" similar to necromancy. The outcome would be 12 archers/10 footmen/7 priests/4 cavaliers or something like that per week.
