Strategy
The Lore of Heavens is an offensive Lore of Magic with many damaging spells. The Lore attribute is niche, but quite powerful when it is active, bring it if you expect flying units or bring your own flying units to ensure aerial dominance.

Chain Lightning is an effective vortex spell, but its random nature combined with its cost makes it a little too expensive.

The Comet is an effective blob detonator that does massive damage, however it is a very slow cast, giving your enemy plenty of time to respond. It is recommended to keep your enemy in place using a Hero or Lord, then drop the comet in the center of the blob that forms. Be aware that the splash radius is very wide, so it is not recommended to use this nearby your own infantry units.

Curse of the Midnight Wind is a solid hex spell useful for debuffing key enemy units.

Harmonic Convergence is one of the best spells from the lore as it provides a balanced upgrade to melee stats. Overcasting is generally not worth it, but if you feel the armor will help, then go for it (best used on a lightly armored unit).

Urannon's Thunderbolt is a quick spell to cast that does decent damage in a small area of effect. Because of this it is actually not bad at dealing damage to large single entity targets or clumps of elite enemies. It is surprisingly effective at sniping out individual artillery pieces like a cannon or even stationary units like the Casket of Souls.

Wind Blast is truly the best spell in the lore that absolutely destroys lightly armored infantry. It can be used to clear out the enemy chaff very effectively. If you need more armor piercing feel free to overcast, but it remains best used against light armor.
