Permanent spell effects
You can exploit a bug in the game to get permanent spell effects.
If you cast the same spell a lot of times (more than 50) in a short time, the effect becomes permanent. The easiest way to achieve this is:
- Mana consumption is smaller when playing in 'Easy' mode (but this is not mandatory).
- Use a champion with 200 or more mana, or have several champions cast the same spell. You may also prepare mana potions in advance to restore your mana and keep casting spells.
- Equip the 'Dragon Spit' because it halves mana consumption.
- Cast one of these spells:
Spell shield: 
(Lo Ya Ir)
Torch: 
(Lo Ful)
Light: 
(Lo Oh Ir Ra)
Fire shield: 
(Ful Bro Neta) - Use the '!' symbol to cast the same spell repeatedly (more than about 50 times).
