Qs about national heroes and prophets

Hmmm. How well does this spell work with Abysian heroes, then? Do they auto-ignite the first time they go into battle?

The only other way I can think of would be to use Wish, and I've never tried wishing for a specific hero.

If you are going to wish, I would think you may as well wish for a vastness, Doom Horror or one of the SC pretenders. I recall a post here suggesting that you could use a wish to produce a clone of your Pretender, which would seem overpowered.

Of course if you could Wish for Cthuugul the Stargazer (or whatever his name is) that would be one way for nations other than R'lyeh to exploit the voidgate.

A mummified hero is no longer a whatever-he-was. He's replaced by a generic mummy instead, losing whatever innate abilities he had before, and gaining the abilities of a mummy instead. So an Abysian mummy would lose his heat aura and gain a disease aura, and become a fire-vulnerable mummy. Keep him from away from the other Abysians.

Well, his unit name is "Stargazer", so it might be possible to get a Stargazer unit. I've never wished for one, though. It's more direct to simply wish for "Vastness". That's what you really wanted, right?
