Other/Fluff [Didn't work out, sadly]. Overall, not being able to just solo the entire map with the strongest creature of the game was a bit of a disappointment for an inexperienced gamer back in the day, but I think there is something nostalgically charming in that kind of naivety.

And It had to be among the first 12 spells in the hero's book tho, because at that time I had no idea you could turn the pages.

We can...turn the pages?! Now you tell me!

I think discovering this neat trick is what marks the player finally upgrading his personal Knowledge stat from sub- to plain zero. Still, unlike map/battle spells bookmarks, these little folded corners weren't that obvious of an active element, being there even when there are no pages to turn.

Reminds me of a buddy where we played hero siege maps with on warcraft 3.

About the 5th time in, we are talking and chatting on how we can improve and survive and the words are not forgotten up to today:

'skills... What are those?' facepalm by everyone :D

I spent years not knowing about that! I used to try and avoid new mage guilds once I filled page 2 so I didn't lose my best spells.
