| The spell places quicksand pits randomly in combat field hexes. They are invisible to enemy hero, unless the hero has a creature fighting on [[native terrain]]. A creature stack that tries to move through a hex with quicksand pit is halted and cannot act until next round. Once a pit is stepped on, it is revealed for all to see. A unique property of the Quicksand spell is that it lasts infinitely during any battle, regardless of the user's spell power. The spell can only be removed by expert [[Remove Obstacle]] or expert [[Dispel]].

| AI cannot cast this spell. [[Flying]] creatures are always immune to this spell. Although {{Cn|Magic Elemental}}s are immune to all spells, they will still be affected by the quicksands.

| {{user commentary|
| | Even though many see Quicksand as a useless spell it does have some charm, especially during a siege. With Expert [[Earth Magic]] it can cause a walking unit to become stranded and say, not be able to advance a broken drawbridge. It can also be entertaining to play Quicksand and [[Land Mine]] with your enemy when you have the [[Shackles of War]] equipped for a final battle. |
| Quicksand can be particularly useful in town sieges, since a large portion of the battlefield is blocked by walls and moats. It is also useful when fighting neutral army stacks, since wandering creatures will always attempt to attack foes that are within reach, making them predictable and thereby easy to "trick" into stepping on the quicksand. This strategy can potentially give your shooters many more turns to shoot before the enemy reaches them. | |
