[[Image:firestorm.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]This spell will make fireballs fall from the sky. It can destroy up to four [[hut]]s and will usually kill anyone who gets into its path, except your own followers. It can also kill an [[Angel of Death]]. Anyone caught in it will, understandably run around in a panic, thus adding to the carnage. A good anti-base spell.
However firestorm is very ineffective against towers, so it would be unwise to use it against firewarriors sitting in an array of towers.

|Mana = 400

}}

[[Image:swarm.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]If you cast this spell on [[followers]] of the enemy tribe (it won't affect you or your followers), those [[followers]] will spread apart and run away screaming. If you cast it next to a [[Guard Tower]] with a [[shaman]] in it, she will run out of the tower screaming.

It is most useful to disrupting enemy attacks and stopping enemy [[preacher]]s from converting your men, as well as forcing a group of enemy followers to exit the boat or baloon they are currently manning.

[[Image:blast_1.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]Blast is probably one of the most widly-used spells in the game. The blast spell can usually kill a follower in one hit unless it is a [[warrior]] or [[Shaman]].

==Tips==

Blast is a very important spell. It can be used in a number of diffrent ways,, some ways are better than others at diffrent times.

First there is straight on target, if you click on the follower it will do a homing blast on it and bounce forward. You can use this to kill a follower in one go or a group of followers that aren't near water.

Then there is blasting next to the follower, this will blast it the oppisite way of where you blast. This is good to knock a follower or a group of followers into the water. You should also use this to blast a [[Shaman]] off a cliff or into the water.

Last is blasting near it but not next to it, it is used on followers and maybe the [[Shaman]] from reaching you. If some [[Firewarrior]]s are going up a hill then blast from a near range and it will stop them from coming up, keep doing it to kill them.
