"An attempt by the attackers to cast magic was thwarted by the defenders' quick-thinking troops, who successfully interrupted the hostile spell."

This line followed the terrain descriptions in a battle report I got fighting at some active stones.  As far as I know, this is the earliest preview of what battle magic might look like.  Opinions?

SC said in his interview with MassivelyTV that this tournament would be a test of both Faction AI and Battle Magic. So yes, there are new spell schools coming. :)

Each of the new undead types except skellies have different battle magic abilities, with several skills in each "school" cast by different types of troops. Upgrading Force of Will can provide defense against this type of magic -- finally a good reason to upgrade Force of Will!
