I'm talking real late game fare basically designed to kill late game 'chaff' or anything that isn't an SC, or blind/darksight. Feel free to butcher as you wish, this guy could easily be man sized with a heat aura and natural fireball attack, actually that would be a decent counter to non fire resistant SC's... if easily massed... thats a bit to normal for me though... I'm musing over how to give a fire summon AoE non fire Ap damage... or an insane attack rating...

Perhaps a re-envisioning of him (since he is undead killer?) that autocasts Solar Brilliance. Not -quite- as powerful as Darkness, as you can't use it in support of an army without Blinding your own units, and also actually hurts undead, where Darkness technically kind of helps them (they are 100% Darkvision by default, same with Demons).


As for the Aether dude having Flying + high map move, I thought of that, but I wanted him to be able to strike during magic phase, which is when you normally have to hit raiding thugs/SCs.
