Volcano is a offensive spell against your enemies. You recieve Volcano from a Vault of Knowledge on level 21:Fractured Earth. The Volcano spell is sometimes in the Default Multiplayer Restrictions and is a nasty spell when casted on your base.

Using It

The range is pretty low, so sometimes its good to be in a Balloon or on high ground. Strike when ready, your Shaman will not be affected so you can stay where ever you are. A huge lump will come up destroying buildings that are close to it. Then relese a whole lot of lava around the base.

Tactics

'Cano Freezing

This only tends to work on high-activity multi-player maps, such as mid-game PP / mana noobet frenzy Fate maps. Once volcano has been casted, wait a couple of seconds and then cast landbridge three times, standing at the back of where the volc will rise. Once diagonally left, then straight across, then diagonally right. If you're lucky, the volcano will stop after rising from the ground - the lava frozen solid.
