Adding Spells

Adding all spells at once (disabled in 1.2)

Your selected hero learns and can use all the spells, regardless of whether you have the skills or not.

Adding Individual Spells to Heroes

Maybe you're not that big of a cheater, and would prefer to add choice spells to a hero, rather than every single one with add_all_spells .

For example:

...gives the Academy hero Nur the spell Haste.

So, the generic code is:

Note: if the spell name is longer than one word, it'll look something like: SPELL_MAGIC_ARROW (which is Eldritch Arrow in-game).

To properly use this, the chart in the next section is essential, as is the Hero Names Chart.

Spell Names / Numbers Chart

Say you want the spell Instant Travel, and try to input this name in caps with the above code. Strangely, you'll fail, and the console tells you that such a spell doesn't exist! What's the big deal?

The fact of the matter is, some of the in-game spell names aren't referenced by the game as that particular spell. My previous note illustrates this perfectly: to learn Eldritch Arrow, the used code is MAGIC_ARROW. Why the incongruity? It seems a lot of the renamed spells are identified by what HoMM fans are traditionally used to. Anyhow:

Note: there are also codes for the special ability that have to be activated in combat, like the Necromancer's Banshee Howl. However, they cannot be directly added into your spell book with this command. Instead, you'll have to give yourself the Necromancy skill with the Adding Skills command. With the appropriate skill, the corresponding ability is placed into your spell book automatically.
