Elemental vision | Allows Warlock to see the elements of his or her creatures so they can plan and blow up "Elemental Chains". | Wizard's reward (Enlightenment) | Rage of the Elements (Irresistible Magic) | Elemental vision assigns enemy creatures elements, so that an opposing element through another unit or Destructive Magic spell (Air and Earth or Fire and Water) can deal it extra damage (with this damage can also be affected by Luck); once this damage has been applied, the unit's element is changed. This effect works only for the Warlock. A Warlock with "Runeforce" artifact set has the effect damage of elemental vision doubled. Altar of Elements building grants the hero to apply elemental attributes to their own troops to inflict additional elemental damage. Altar of Primal Elements building grants +10% damage to elemental damage. |

Dark ritual | Bestows the warlock the ability to use ALL of their movement points to regain all of their Mana. | Twilight (Light Magic) | Yrbeth and Thralsai/Ylaya  are specialists in this ability, where they can regenerate mana over their mana cap, the amount depends on the hero level.
