In regards to 3rd level spells..
I think the absolute top are Air Sheild, FOrgetfullness, Anti-Magic, and Earthquake
Exp forgetfullness is amazing to move you along in the map faster.. Hordes of monks/zealots/lichs/magiect.. become meaningless battles for potentially great rewards.
However I think the main thing about lv3 spells.. (INcluding animate) is that all these spells are absolutely wonderful in a given enviornment.
THey all have a place and specific purpose not like your level 2 and 4 spells that are for killing almost exclusively.
I can think of many instances were well placed level 3 spells have helped ALOT..

Tower strategy (at least the way I see it) is based on makeing your opponent to come to you. You have 3 shooters and slow units - there is no point in going to your opponent.
When two of your shooters are out you are forced to go to the other end of the screen. That is why Forg. is a killer - it forces you to play on the opponents terms.
I admitt that the spell is not commonly used - there are lots of other spells that are more usefull. However, as far as 3rd lvl spells are concerned it might not be a bad idea to use it against Tower, especially when you know the Tower player has no Water Magic on Expert.
If they cast expert forgetfullness on my tower army I just stay on my side and cast chain =) (thank you library)

I would like to say Hypnotyse, but you can hardly ever use it because it is grossly under powered. So I will say Misfortune. The 3rd level is the worst spell level.

Bjorn190:
When you use a magic hero, casting chain or implo sounds good to me too.
However, lately I tend to use might heroes more often. That means casting chain with low spell power isnt that good idea any more.

Spells for Homm2
I like to use:
Armaggedon - when the only army I have is black or red dragons.
Dimension doors - Awesome on L and XL maps.
Ressurect True - when not a necromancer
Summon Boat - stealing boats maybe good when you have a large water map with tiny islands scattered all over.
Lightning bolt - awesome

Air Shield decreases ranged attack damage by 50% only, not 75%. Still a great spell - but completely useless in a Cyclops treasury.

Of level 3 spells, these are the ones that I use fairly commonly:
- Forgetfulness (a castle/dungeon killer)
- Anti-Magic (the enemy can't cast spells)
- Animate Dead (for necro resurrection)
- Air Shield (halves ranged attack)
- Teleport (I don't use this much, but sometimes it's nice to teleport your slow troops over walls e.g. skeletons, dwarves, gorgons etc.)

Meaning they will already do half damage, no need for Air Shield. Cast Shield instead (-30% melee samage).

Animate Dead is the best, because it will not come in other towns than Necropolis, unless it has been set to appear.
