The tornado spell can be casted on huts or people and will destroy them completely. You can cast the tornado spell on people and they will fly up and, if you are lucky, fly into water, or perhaps just die. You can cast it on buildings and, not counting the off-chance that there are some remains of the hut left, the building will be destroyed.

Tornado is a very commonly used spell as it is cheap and efficent for destorying huts in one shot. Players also use it to spread followers around, maybe in the water. Firewarriors can still fire even if they are in the air, mostly getting another chance to kill the enemy shaman.

Another technique is when the enemy shaman is in a tornado, you keep blasting the tornado so that you drain the health of the enemy shaman before she can cast spells on you.
