At the start, whilst you expand your territory, a number of other sorcerers are creating their own power base. Ultimately you will clash. In these battles, your weapons are your magic spells. When magic battles between sorcerers arise, the game comes to life. Thunderclouds roll across the skies as lightning bolt attacks are directed at opponents' villages.
Earthquakes tear the ground apart.
Spells directed against you can be anticipated. You always have time to react to spells. And time to cast an appropriate counter-spell in time. To cast a firewall, for example, you must sweep the mouse in a circle. In the heat of battle you can order your followers to increase their worship rituals.
