It was rather annoying since I couldn't have lost that battle no matter what, I didn't need whatever benefits the spell gave.

The "green raindrop" spell is Poison. More than likely because your units were in range of the Hydra's Poison Aura. Fantatisim is a spell that goes "bling" and white stuff flashes on all your units.

2) A province I had was taken over by 5 independent heroes. I lost the first army I sent in there, but killed off 4 of them. The Last one standing was some kind of green colored ogre looking thing with a sword. I went back with a larger army just to make sure, and he proceeded by himself to kill off a dozen hydras and 70 other troops, and they weren't the cheap troops, these were elites (it also appears he might have been using the "green raindrop" spell, I'm not sure, but it wasn't me this time because I didn't send along any spellcasters). Any idea what the heck this guy is and how in the world I'm supposed to kill him off?
Thanks!

That is Illwinter's beloved Bogus the Troll and company. He's a little tough to kill early in the game; but later in the game, try using things that cut through armor like Armor Piercing, or Hydras or something similiar. You might want to try to cast Foul Vapors in the battle and wait for him to beat through a bunch of hydras. Or try using xbows.
