While we are on the subject...there used to be rumors
(long ago) going around about certain existing spells,
that to the best of my knowledge are false. But it
might be interesting to make them true.
RUMOR#1: That if a casting of Fearful Hearts causes
the enemy army's morale to go below 1, the army disbands.
RUMOR#2: That a casting of Summon Storms at an enemy
popcenter when fighting an enemy army prevents the
enemy popcenter's fortifications from helping the
defending army's constution. (I assume you all know
that normally your fortifications help your army's
constitution a small bit, from about 10% to 20%.)
RUMOR#3: That a casting of Summon Storms in a battle
allows other armies to pass through the battle site
regardless of fortifications or hostile armies; the
storm interfering with visibility to the extent of
preventing detection.
RUMOR#4: This was a good old rumor but not about spells.
Rumor had it that at 3230 there was an army encounter,
such that the army found a trail leading into 3329.
(Clearly false, as there are no army encounters allowing
285 orders; the commander would need to 285/850 somehow.
But intriguing. Do you all know that the original map
had a road from 3329 leading inward into Moria, and somehow
during printing it got screwed up? GSI decided to live
with it rather than pay for it again.)

I would love that - same for Toughness for some of the characters
maybe as
special ability [reduce damage taken by xx% from all sources]- which
reduces
damage from a character each turn, (the ego blast... 
(Legends!)
) No
seriously I would love do do some changes like this - it would make
the game
more complex I reckon as any added extras increase what you need to
learn
and hence more players looking for the simpler game drop out.
Lots of things could be done with the spell list which is, frankly,
boring
without changing the game too much from the feel as it stands. Same
for
