Just so. I was playing Abysia, but was unaware that there was anything like national spells. Is there somewhere I can find information on what comes with each nation (spells, units, other things I dont know about)?
Just check the begginning spells of Machaka and Jotun: Niefelheim theme... Blindness is Alteration 6! and Illwinter is global enchantment... In theory, Niefelheim could run for Niefelheim and other nations would have to suffer until one of them researchs up to Dispel... Of course, in MP they would form an alliance to kill the caster of the said Global.
