Re: Inner Furnace - another lie our manuals have told?
Yep, I already heard that. Bug? Doesn't seem too cogent and contradicts the manual also.  |

Re: Inner Furnace - another lie our manuals have told?
Just tested it without CBM. The MR check is definitely present and probably easy (+4). It does affect non-Abysian units and units that don't already have a heat aura.
Both Humanbred and regular militia got a heat aura. Summer Lions, who already have one, never increased it, but that may be due to high MR.
I have to say I'd like the spell a lot better if it didn't have the MR check and only affected either Abysians or units with heat auras. I don't think the heat aura boost is really that strong. Certainly not worth trying to spam a spell that costs gems.
And giving a heat aura to non fire resistant units is counterproductive.

At one time, it DID only affect units with a heat aura. |

Why are you using non fire res units with abysia and why are you casting inner furnace in that case? |

Re: Inner Furnace - another lie our manuals have told?
> Why are you using non fire res units with abysia?
Because my opponent is not expecting to run into a pile of Ice Drakes/Storm Demons/whatever.
> why are you casting inner furnace in that case?
Because the spell description in the manual says it's a buff to "Abysia units" which "expands their radius of heat effects". Where I misinterpret "Abysia units" to mean "Abysian national units" not "units owned by the Abysian nation", and where I believe "expands their radius of heat effects" does not mean "grant heat auras to units that do not already have heat effects." And if I've got a bunch of Storm Demons behind my Aby infantry, it might be useful for that Aby infantry to fry anything that wanted to charge forward and chop up my Storm Demons, so I cast Inner Furnace to turn up the heat.

Re: Inner Furnace - another lie our manuals have told?
Archers? Indy Mages? Both of which can easily be placed away from your heat auras.
And I'd be casting Inner Furnace because it wouldn't bother them if it worked as
described.
Edit: Or what vfb said.
