The spell drives all armies in a state of frenziness. It squeezes the life force of the units out and enhances their power and strength. The only drawback of the spell is the units will be exhausted too easily and will not be able to last long in a battle.

Effects

• BATTLE EFFECT EVERYWHERE EXCEPT ARCH SERVER
  • On colour: +20% AP, -10% HP
  • Adjacent: +10% AP, -5% HP
  • Opposite: +5% AP, -2.5% HP

All the above are scaled by enchantment_SL/max_erad_SL. So a red with standard SL (477 on blitz) will have +20% AP, whereas a blue with 631 SL casting BC will actually get (631/477) * 5 = 6.6% AP boost. AP boosts apply equally to primary (including counter) and secondary.

• BATTLE EFFECT ON ARCH SERVER
  • On colour: +0.066*SL % AP, -0.022*SL % HP
  • Adjacent: +0.033*SL % AP, -0.011*SL % HP
  • Opposite: +0.020*SL % AP, -0.0067*SL % HP

This AP boost is primary (including counter) only.

• PILLAGE EFFECT
  • All servers, at least once the size component is gone from beta/lightning
    • A successful attack will take the same percent of target's geld as it did (captured+destroyed acres) percent of target's land, with a ±20% random modifier. The pillaged amount is also scaled by SL in the same way as the battle effects. Pillage effect only works on colour, and only if the target is at least 50% of the attacker's size.

• UPKEEP EFFECT
  • Blitz, Beta, Lightning and Archwar only
    • Erad mages receive a 1% geld upkeep reduction for every 100 acres they are above 5k acres, capping out at 50% when they reach 10k. This effect does not scale with SL.

Obsolete

For : +20% AP/Counter/EAP and -10% HP (base SL) ~ +0.044*SL %AP (rounds down to nearest 0.1) ~ -0.022*SL %HP (rounds down to nearest 1) Pillages geld if attack is successful (randomized amount). [1] Pillage amount is dependant on surviving troops(similar to how surviving troops determine land gained) and attack type. A full siege will pillage up to 10% of the target's geld, regular attacks half that.

Formula for amount of geld pillaged [2]

% of target's geld pillaged = (1) x (2) x (3) ; where

(1): The % of target's land destroyed in the attack. Up to 5% for regulars, 10% for sieges.

(2): Current spell level of "Battle Chant" enchantment / Base full spell level of Erad mage (differs depending on the server)

(3): A random number in the range 0.8 - 1.2

Example (quoting Azroen):

"So on a server where erad's SL is 456, and their BC enchant is 545...

10% geld * (545/456) * (rand (.8-1.2))

This would give a range of 9.56% - 14.34% geld stolen. And conversely, a low BC enchant mage will steal less."
