Hi,

I watched Sapher's last CoM youtube video series where he wins in Phantasmal difficulty and it appears from it, that the Mystic Surge enchantment can make am average unit super strong that it can defeat the highest level creatures and the strongest best equipped heroes in a single hit. do you think it's overpowered? I personally believe it is overpowered and that it should allow only common and uncommon unit enchantments, IMO very high level enchantments like Haste/Phantasmal should not be included in this spell enchantments.

What do you think?

While you might see a video of the spell working exceptionally well, the games where its randomness results in less effectiveness probably don't get posted as videos. Can the spell make victory easy? Yes. Does it do that reliably? Run enough combats with it to provide a statistical answer.
