U got it all wrong my man....for a magic hero that can win, in order I think the skills should be...
1. Wisdom
2. Earth magic
3. Air magic
4. Logistics
5. Armourer
6. Water magic
7. Offense
8. Intelligence
Otherwise he will get the crap kicked outta him by a might hero, given equal gameplay skill.

I would never put 4 magic schools om any hero unless I am offered very bad skills like learning, eagle eye, etc. 2 magic schools are enough for my magic hero (sometimes, but not often he may have 3 schools depending on the spells) and 1 school (expert) is often enough on might hero. Also I dont find sorcery very usefull - 15% is not enough to make any difference in most cases, especially in late game when damage spells are not that important.
My ideal magis hero will have
1. wisdom
2. intelligence
3. earth magic
4. another magic school
5. logistics
These are must have. The other 3 will come from another magic school, armorer, offence, tactics, resistance, maybe sorcery, pathfinding, sometimes balistics - depending on the situation.
Oh yea, and the specialty is intelligence of course

1. earth
2. air
3. water
4. fire
5. logistics
6. wisdom
7. navigation
8. sorcerry
9. Orb of vulnerablility
Earth is first for town portal and the abillity to resurrect and keep the resurrected.
Air for flight and mass percission
Water for clone any and mass bless. oh ya and mass prayer and mass dispel and dimmesion door
Fire for blind (not much of an improvement but it helps) and beserk larger area. (love berserk) (never had armegeden)
Logistics to help with flight and general moviblility of my army since it all goes into one person.
Wisdom for double the spell points
Navigation if on water to help get around faster
Sorcery for more damage even if it only adds a minimal amount
Orb of Vulnerablility! To kill the damn dragons and all other pricks who are semi immune or are immune to magic.

5. Logistics
6. Diplomacy/ Necromancy
7. Offense

In most cases you'll want the same skills for a might hero as for a magic hero, the only exceptions being at the extremes. A hero with the orb of inhibition would be better off with a second tier might skill such as armorer than with a first tier magic skill such a school of magic. An armageddon hero on the other hand would have little use for skills such as archery, tactics, and water magic (or magic schools in general other -than for transportation spells- since the bonus provided by expertise in magic schools for direct damage spells is negligible) and would be better off with sorcery and intelligence.

what's so good about sholar? the main reason why I don't use alchemists is because they all come with sholar, the worst skill in the game. pls explain what's useful about it.

Only good reason to take Scholar is that you can hire some heroes like Solmyr, Alamar, Thant, Loynis and Jeddite and teach their spells to your main hero. But I wouldn`t fancy seeing the Scholar with my main hero. I would hire scholar hero for that purpose (Alamar is perfect choice for it). There is also the possibility that you can hire former enemy hero who posses good spells you don`t have. Especially in L or XL maps.
Fire Magic is weakest of all spell schools. Berserk is the best battle spell around but without it there is only Armageddon, Curse, Sacrifice and Bloodlust which you would want as expert level. Not taking retalition of blinded creature is not much of an advantage.
Armorer is a good skill and comparable to Offense. Damage reduction of 15% is a lot. Offense increases damage done only for melee attacks while Armorer reduces damage of all attacks. Both of them is mainly skills for might heroes but should i have to choose between them, I would take armorer as more longer your troops can survive under the pressure of might hero the more spells you can cast. For Battle Mage I take Offense which is among the best skills Stronghold can have.
This is my list for magic heroes. Skills are in priority order.
Battle Mage
1. Logistics
2. Air Magic (Haste)
3. Tactics
4. Earth Magic
5. Resistance
6. Wisdom
7. Offense
8. Ballistics
Warlock
1. Logistics
2. Wisdom
3. Earth Magic
4-5. Air Magic
4-5. Fire Magic
Wizard
1. Logistics
2. Wisdom
3-4. Earth Magic
3-4. Air Magic
5. Water Magic
6. Tactics
7. Archery
Cleric
1. Logistics
2. Wisdom
3-4. Earth Magic
3-4. Water Magic
5. Tactics
6. Air Magic
Witch
1. Logistics
2-3. Earth Magic
2-3. Water Magic
4. Wisdom
Beast Master is clearly better choice for hero than Witch due to the lack of 4th and 5th level guilds.
Necromancer
1. Logistic
2. Wisdom
3. Earth Magic
4. Air Magic
Heretic
1. Logistics
2. Wisdom
3. Earth Magic
4. Fire Magic
Druid
1. Logistics
2. Wisdom
3. Earth Magic
Rangers are much better heroes than Druids, so I seldom have to use Druid as a main.
Should you have a spell guild built already and you haven`t developed hero much take the spell school according to what spells you have in your guild.

Well if you have a strong sorcerer and he is very far from a town, than you will give him more troops with another hero from your town right, and if you built another level to your magic guild, the transferring hero will teach those stronger more effective spells to your main hero.

I agree that scholar can be good, but i would never waste a 2.nd skill spot on my main hero for it. scholar is for scouts.
Concerning "best scouts" - i would pick a hero that gives extra res/cash if the chance is given, the "good" 4th lvl spell casters is also nice to have to scholar their spells to main hero.

I'd use necromancy. And it'd be great as a specialty. You know, 5% increase per level. That would be a killer special. Sooner or later you'd generate HUGE armies in a mater of turns.

Well, I think time is the most important factor in online gaming - and visiting castles takes time, even with TP.
But I agree that Scholar is a skill for a scout, not for a main.
