Magical Sheild is a defensive spell similar to Invisibility which will protect your followers from direct spells from enemy Shamans and fireballs from Firewarriors. The spell can only be used on followers but not your shaman. You receive Magical Shield from a Vault of Knowledge on level 14: Attacked From All Sides. The Magical Shield spell is not in the Default Multiplayer Restrictions.


Rebound

Spells directly cast on a unit will rebound to a random location, 8 unit radius away from it, as can be witnessed on the video:

Spells can rebound again, if there is a second unit with magical shield on the place the spell was first reflected to (multi rebound). This works with blast, tornado, swarm, but not lightning. Spells can infinitely rebound, in case the map is filled with magical shielded units:

Spells that are not directly cast on a magical shielded unit, but are cast on the same grid square, usually don't rebound (or damage the unit(s) - tornadoes also won't make the units fly).


Tactics

  • Firewarriors have a magical attack similar to blast, so when you see a lot of firewarriors coming to attack your base simply cast Magical Shield on your own followers and they will be resisitant to the enemy firewarriors.
