Sporemancer's icon

The sporemancer is an upgraded tier 5 creature of the Grove faction. It is recruited from the Shroomwood Shack II. It is one of two upgrades for the herbomancer, along with the murmurmancer.

All life in Murmurwoods is interconnected. Those who understand this best become Sporemancers — elder mancers who nurture the forest, guide the elementals that dwell within it, and uphold delicate balance of nature.^OffBck

Tactics

Sporemancers have better stats than herbomancers and murmurmancers, reduce spell costs by 2 mana instead of 1, and can make a target allied creature immune to magic damage temporarily. However, this doesn't protect against negative effects or against non-magic damage.
