Which spell used Queen Catherine?

The role-playing games (I-X) that started it all and the various spin-offs (including Dark Messiah).

Which spell used Queen Catherine?

Unread postby EnrothandErathia » 13 Sep 2012, 00:45

In the end of Homm3 Queen Catherine uses a spell to destroy the undead corpse of her father. In Homm3 she is knight class but do you think she would be paladin in MM7 because she used ''Destroy Undead" in Light magic school? Which spell do you think the queen of Enroth and Erathia use?

Lightning Bolt. Destroy Undead is an AoE in the HoMM games, unless you're talking about 4, because 4 is weird that way. :)

This hardly be but one spell. It seems to be a complex ritual of consecration.

No, only in H3. In H1 it was cast on a single stack and in H2 there were "Holy Word" and "Holy Shout" spells.
My patches: MM6 MM7 MM8. MMExtension. Tools. Also, I love Knytt Stories and Knytt Underground. I'm also known as sergroj.

BTW, there was Turn Undead, not Destroy (though it destroys an undead stack).

No, I meant if Queen Catherine was a Might and Magic 7 character which class would she be? I think she must have been a paladin and I meant this spell

Destroy Undead:
Spell Point Cost: 10
Calls upon the power of Heaven to undo the magic which animates an undead target creature. Damage is 1-16 per point of caster’s Light Magic skill. Only works on undead creatures.

I might be wrong, but I do not think that Paladins can actually use Light magic. I think they are stuck with Self magics. At least, it's like that in MM6.

Paladins and archers can get basic light/dark in MM7. Destroy undead is basic.

Her class doesn't matter, everyone can cast a spell from a scroll.

Oops; didn't know that about H1. I wasn't worried about the names in H2, since the effect was essentially the same, unless my memory is playing tricks on me here, too. :)

She didn't use a scroll, she used a book! Knights in MM7 don't have a spellbook!

This still doesn't answear which class is Queen Catherine. She can't be a Knight it turns out she's Ranger if she used Lighting Bolt because Paladin can't use Elemental magic.

Game mechanics. Just as the classes themselves are. Anyne can cast magic, there is nothing story-wise that inhibits knights or barbarians or ninjas from using it.

Lightning Bolt was obviously just part of the ritual's effect. Note that it doesn't say "she casted the lightning bolt spell", just that the lightning bolt was summoned from the sky. Lightning just appears when this undead turning ritual is taking effect.

Her class is Knight in both H3:RoE and H3:AB.
Does it answer your question?

Yes, indeed

Probably it's something more complicated like Ritual of the Void for example (Knight also could use it without any knowledge about magic schools).

Me not quite sure, but wasn't it obvious that her class was "Queen" ?
