Secondary Magic Effects

What exactly are the secondary effects from magic levels? I know that water magic gives a unit the capability of water breathing and more water magic allows more units to be taken underwater.... earth magic increases protection... fire attack skill.... where i can find all the effects?

Manual has it covered pretty well. Page 85.

You mean the effects listed on page 85 in the manual?

EDIT: Bah, Quitti beat me by a few seconds

Except water magic hasn't given water breathing since Dom2.

Seriously? I didn´t noticed.... Maybe it´s because i rarely play maps with water....

From memory :

Fire: attack+, old age-, and maybe normal leadership+ too
Water: defense+
Air: precision+
Earth: protection+
Astral: magic leadership++
Nature: old age++, supply+
Death: undead/demon leadership++, Fear+ (no fear aura until D5)
Blood: undead/demon leadership+, and maybe something else I'm forgetting

I think that other Path that astral give a (lesser) magic leadership bonus, but I cannot remember exactly, and as I'm posting from work I don't have the manual with me.

Also, nature increases your maximum age by 25 years I think, and death by 10. I think death also reduced the chance to get diseased (or all afflictions?) by old age. Is there anyone who knows better?

The FAQ says it better; the path that adds max age depends on the nature of the unit.

nature (generally) for humanish type
earth for constructs
death (iirc) for demons/undead.

Also, blood 9 gives a blood curse; air 9 gives shock resistance; fire - fire weapons; water quickness. ETc.

death 5 also gives fear, if not previously present.
