| - Magic spells in the Heroes of Might and Magic IV universe are based on five alignments: Life, Death, Nature, Chaos and Order. Each has its own particular School of Magic associated with it, which can be found in a town of the same alignment:
* Holy Cathedrals in Havens, where clerics find new ways to cast the blessings of the Light
* Towers of Darkness in Necropolises, where the undead focus on new curses and raising the dead
* Institutes of Magic in Academies, where the mages study and improve magics of the mind
* Sorcerer's Guilds in Asylums, where renegade wizards experiment with fire control spells
* Druid's Halls in Preserves, where the ancient wisdom of summoning spells is kept
