Describe the bug

See the title - Everhot Lava Rock artifact is supposed to help "Fire spells do 50% more damage". Armageddon is a fire spell, right?

Please check for yourself and try to fix it. Thanks :)

AFAIK in HoMM2 Armageddon does the same kind of damage as the Elemental Storm, so it's not in fact a fire spell. Hi @LeHerosinconnu, am I right?

Hello! Armageddon is considered to deal some sort of magic damage. It's not elemental, since Phoenixes are not immune to Armageddon. Also, such artifacts as cloaks don't reduce damage taken from Armageddon. The only special PoL artifact (Broach of Shielding) reduces Armageddon spell damage during combat. Btw, Golems reduce that magic damage for 50% as intended, since it's the magic damage.

@Branikolog So this is not in fact a fire spell, it's a spell with some "special" damage?

[Branikolog]

@oleg-derevenetz Yes. Fire Elementals and Phoenixes don't resist it while having fire spells immunity.

Hello @oleg-derevenetz,

Yes, the two fire spells in the game are Fireball and Fireblast and they are the only ones affected by the Everhot Lava Rock and Fire Cloak artifacts.
