Re: Rain?
A battlefield enchantment symbol will appear in the top-right corner once rain is cast.

Re: Rain?
If it's already naturally raining, there will be no symbol. But the rain graphics are pretty obvious, even at graphics level 1.

Re: Rain?
I've cast Rain twice in recent battles. The first time it worked fine, but the second time it went off properly but ended part way through the battle. I've never seen a BFE end during a battle before and don't know what to make of it.

Re: Rain?
Hate to ask the obvious, but are you sure the caster didn't get killed?

Re: Rain?
You guys are gonna make me go back into that game and replicate it, aren't you? I think I remember which one it was (I quit playing it cause Abysia was killing me). I'll do it tonite... might even post a game save.
No, it wasn't raining naturally in any of the battles. And the casters always survived (they were the first ones to run).

Re: Rain?
Just took a look at the last turn again. Turns out it was raining already in one battle (never noticed the little raindrops before). Too bad natural rain doesn't seem to dampen Abysians.
In the other battle where it failed, I had Abysia outnumbered 3-1, so maybe the mage thought it wasn't worth wasting the gems. It's definitely a frustrating spell to try and use though.

Re: Rain?
Both the Rain spell and natural rain do not appear to change the statistics of heat-aura units when they are viewed in battle with right-click.
However, I did do a test where I had a bunch of units chase down some burning ones with Heat(3) aura in natural rain. The units were not affected at all when they entered the clouds of smoke. Are you sure that in the rainy battle the Abysians didn't just whack you to death with their powerful attacks?
I think as far as Heat auras are concerned, the Rain spell and natural rain spells have the same effect, which is -3 to the aura. Probably this applies to flight and fire magic fatigue too.
