It would definitely need to give it's user magic resistance. Maybe also let you hit ethereal enemies?

Hmmm, when given the chance to strike at 2 different enemy target's, it automatically picks the less "simple" one... assuming the "simplicity" of a unit starts at zero and goes down by 1 for each special ability (eg: sacred, cold resistant, stealthy, etc...), magic skill level or heroic ability level.

At the beginning of each battle, all troops beyond the first soldier of each troop type are destroyed.

Duplicate entities thus removed can be restored using a new nature spell, "Necessity".

Well, "Necessity", "Simplicity", that's the same thing, really... just 2 different ways to implement it.

New super-combattant: the Master Logician. Makes units with average intelligence disappear in puffs of logic, or at least become terminally confused. Units with very low intelligence, very high intelligence, or deafness, are immune.

He could be a late-game hero for Arco - a hero appeared at your gates: Socrates the Master Logician.

Well, no, it's only for the sake of necessity that one should multiply entities. Not to mention it being the mother of invention and all. ;P
