A thought on the four horsemen:

Make 4 separate summoning spells, each gets one horseman. Each requires a different path so it's *NOT* easy to get all 4.

Individually they are not all that impressive. However, get all 4 in a province and cast a 5th spell on them and you get a *VERY* good unit. (Note that the combined unit would *NOT* be wishable.)

Some ideas on the powers of the combined unit:

It would be a very good melee combatant.

Does not eat but gluttony 1000.

Spreads a deadly disease (like that disease demon), every battle round it has an autocast battlefield-wide enchantment that has a good chance of giving a bad disease to affected units. (The fused unit is immune.) Anyone hit by it or who hits it automatically is affected, they get no MR roll. Every turn of battle would cause them to take damage the same as the passage of a month.

An autocast battlefield-wide death attack of some kind.


Perhaps the fused unit would become uncontrollable after a while or perhaps even the next turn.
