{{user commentary|
For a mostly magical hero, Intelligence is useful. The best time of Intelligence is mid-game, when getting e.g. 100 spell points instead of 50 may be crucial for a major battle. {{hota}}{{-wh}} debuffs this skill and buffs [[Mysticism]], possibly so as to balance them between each other. Don't forget to reload mana prior to major missions.

Intelligence is a excellent supportive secondary skill. Especially in large and extra large maps, where heroes grow to be more "mighty and magical", the amount of mana points may become crucial. For example, [[Resurrection|resurrecting]] a large army can consume massive amount of mana points. Dungeon heroes may be able to pass Intelligence, because they typically have the opportunity to build [[Mana Vortex]] in their cities, which basically has the same effect as expert Intelligence – the spell point maximum is doubled. However, enormous spell points amount (4 times more than usual) can make a Warlock with Intelligence almost invincible.
