Ignore - [Bug?] Aid spell not visible/selectable

from Stardock Forums

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Aid was a level 1 life spell. However when I play with level 1 life, I am unable to see the spell anywhere nor use it.

I looked in the core files and I see the following:

    <SpellDef InternalName="Aid">        

<DisplayName>Aid</DisplayName>        

<Description>Heals target unit by 8 (+2 per life shard).</Description>        

<FormattedDescription>Heals target unit by %d.</FormattedDescription>

<SpellBookSortSubCategory>Heal</SpellBookSortSubCategory>        

<SpellType>Tactical</SpellType>        

<SpellClass>Defensive</SpellClass>        

<SpellSubClass>Heal</SpellSubClass>        

<SpellTargetType>FriendlyUnit</SpellTargetType>        

<Prereq>            

     <Type>AbilityBonusOption</Type>            

     <Attribute>LifeAdept1</Attribute>        

</Prereq>

 

My sovereign shows as having: <SelectedAbilityBonusOption>Life1</SelectedAbilityBonusOption>

 

Have I misunderstood the Aid spell being available as a Life 1 spell?

I think "Aid" is a Defender trait, not a life spell.

"Aid" is only on the henchman version of life 1; the champion version of the life magic spellbooks have "heal" at life 2 (basically a better version of aid) and "wellspring" at life 4 (strong AoE heal with 1 turn cast time). life 1 has regeneration, though, which can be applied on the strategic map (outside of battle) and fully heals the unit at the start of the next season.

oh, and the kingdom version of the mage tree has the "wisp" as a low level summon spell; that creature can also cast Aid i think
