Sigh, but in the other examples the creatures are constructed from the material of their name. Again I ask is it made of magnets?

Magnets always draw anything that's magnetic. Since the Alt Golem upgrade draws on Destructive magic, this should've been a no brainer.

Actually it's not a no brainer if you look at the "magnetic" as an metaphor for what it does. As you said a magnet draws on anything magnetic. The new golem will draw on destructive magic. So i'm actually ok with it.

In case you were wondering how orcs fare vs academy
Quote:
In fact the Orcs have rather crappy low level units and their only units decent right from the start are level 6 (an allied unit, therefore no blood rage) and the level 7.
It's difficult to explain, but stats for Orcs are shockingly low, at least so it seems. Of course blood rage makes up for it - but that's the racial and to be expected.
They have NO unit that can cross the field in one turn.
Anyway, you have to keep in mind that the Shatter skills are completely useless to get for creeping, so it's a skill you cannot afford to get early, if anytime at all. Having ONE shatter skill will be more than enough of a burden for the rest of the game (since you have to put as many levels in it to develop it's full potential as with a magic skill).
So you CAN rather hamper a magic skill, but you pay a high price for it. Remember - the pressure is on the Barbarians - the Wizard will learn AT LEAST two magic skills.
I had feeling it would be similar to this.

We knew that they would have low stats, but that guy make it sounds like they have none - And he makes them sound weak. I thought that the wyvern was the one to reach the foes in 1 turn.. But seems notī..
And you can choose 2 kinds of shatter magic? And ofcourse a clever player would choose Shatter Summoning magic - since Academy seems to love that... And ofcourse the clever Academy player would go for something non-summoning...

More or less what I thought  Even if not, academy can get 2-3 magic schools, I challenge them to block em all. Maybe destructive seems a bit off with might over magic's effect but there are still the elemental gargoyles and elemental arties. Besides how powerful can a basic ability be?

Chuckles this time

Lastly, concerning the Shatter skills. Reducing the effective mastery level IS what they do. That and reducing the effective spell power. This is why Barbarians will really hurt Necro. Necro will almost always lean heavily on Dark magic. Namely the Dark MASS spells. Well, if a Barbarian knows he'll be facing a Necromancer...shatter dark would be a great choice. Because it'll turn that great spell caster back into a level 1 spell caster basically. It'll mean that those powerful Mass Suffering spells won't be lowering the attack stat by 12. It'll be lowering it by only 3....with a shorter duration too.
Holy cow this is gonna be good  Gotcha Alc!
Quote:
Might over Magic: Decreases enemy Spell Power in combat in proportion with the barbarian Spell Power.
So, in essence, if a Barbarian has a Spell Power of 3...then the enemy spell caster will have his Spell Power reduced by 3 during that combat. Does anybody really think that a Barbarian will have a Spell Power in the range of 10 or so? Didn't think so. It will hamper spell casters, but not dramatically so.
In proportion? Couldn't they just talk about reduction? Sigh...

Is that confirmed or just a rumor?
If that's the case, the orcs could have a (pretty sharp) edge in final battles, though on the other hand your opponent could surprise you with taking unusual magic schools.
However, creeping without any magic is probably not very easy and taking shatter skills means taking less combat skills. Then again we don't know much about the battle cries...

Can't help finding it a bit ironic that some of these Shatter Skills would be a lot more helpful for several other classes than the actual Magic Skill itself.
