[BUG][.51] General Traits section unable to show the magic line opposite your faction type

from Elemental Forums

If you manage to acquire Life/Death magic as an Empire/Kingdom respectively (Henchmen with Life on Empire for instance, or a surrendered Sovereign with the appropriate magic), it won't display at all on the Traits window and thus cannot be increased past Apprentice.

This isn't exactly a bug. Life magic traits require Kingdom-allegiance, while Death magic traits require Empire-allegiance. So, if you are a Kingdom-faction and get a hero with Death Apprentice, you won't be able to improve it, because you don't fulfill the necessary requirement.

The trait section should probably tell you this, but that is more of an UI issue than a bug.

If you have three heroes each with one of Death (Life) I/II/III, you can get up to Death (Life) III by Steal Spirit starting with I.

Also, can the devs make Death Adept henchmen for evil Altar (Men) factions?

You were able to level them just fine before the trait trees in regular FE.

I forgot about that, I don't generally level any hero than my sovereign so I only get the first level of magic from Steal Spirit.

Really? I tried it several times in FE, with no success.

Maybe I'm mistaken then, I do run with a few mods.

I think the way it works is this - when you are Kingdom, none of your heroes can ever gain levels in Death Magic, and vice versa with Empires and Life Magic.  They can start with the opposite magic and you can steal it, but I have never had Death Magic heroes be able to level up their Death Magic when I am a Kingdom side.
