  • The enemy has 2+ heroes with heals or shields

    Cuts the enemy's healing and shields.

  • The enemy has tanks or fighters with lots of HP

    Burns a share of max HP: the more HP they have, the more it hurts.

    Big magic penetration, stronger against high magic defense.

  • You keep running out of mana

    Restores mana so you can keep casting.
