As the tutorial explains, Spells in Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era have four levels. They can be upgraded to higher tiers via various means, including:

In this Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era mission, you will only have your hero with no other units. You will only use spells to defeat foes. As such, you have been given infinite movement points while also having your spell cooldowns reduced to a minimum.

When the level starts, collect all resources from the surroundings. This includes the Tactical Guide, Wise Owl reward, Fallen Angel Wings, Cadeuceus staff, and Seven Eyes. Click the Level Up button to jump to level 10, unlocking Advanced Primal Magic, allowing you to pick one of the following perks:

Primal Time: Cooldown of your hero spells is reduced by 1 round.Primal Force: Effects, both positive and negative, used by both the player and enemeis lasts an additional round.Sharpest Teeth: Enemy Primal Spells are reduced by 1 level.

Select Primal Time as it makes you even stronger on the battlefield. Now return to the starting point to enter the city.

2) Customize your build

Since you will not need most of the artifacts you find in the challenge, you can destroy all except Seven Eyes to gain Alchemical Dust. This is because Seven Eyes grants +1 level to all Spells when equipped, so it will prove invaluable in completing this challenge map in Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era.

You can then upgrade the Seven Eyes artifact with the newly acquired Alchemical Dust from scrapping other items to empower it, which now grants +2 to all Spells. However, if you would rather not upgrade the artifact for whatever reason, you can instead upgrade your Spells directly from the Magic Observatory.

Fireball and Lightning Bolt are for dealing heavy damage from afar, while Haste and Web can help you make a quick escape and slow down foes, respectively. Return to the overworld to start the fight in this Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era challenge.

3) Begin the battle

Back in the overworld, highlight the enemy in the bottom right corner of the map and click on it to start the fight. It is best to place your unit on the top-most lane of the map to avoid getting swarmed. You will face off against 7 enemies, but with Primal Spells in tow, you should be able to take them down easily.

Use the following offensive Spells to make life easier, which have been significantly bolstered in power thanks to Seven Eyes (lvl 2) and Primal Spells:

Fireball: Deals 350 Magic Damage to all creatures in a 1-hex radiusLightning Bolt: Deals 325 Magic Damage to target enemy creature.

Start with Fireball against the topmost group that has 2 stacks, and then move to the dead end at the end of the top lane. Use another Fireball on your next turn to reduce the stack of the bottom group. At this point, the enemies should have inched within striking range of you.

Use a third Fireball to decimate the closest group to you and move back to the top left corner. If the enemies huddle close enough to be finished off with another Fireball, go ahead with that. If not, and you find them split up, use Haste to fly to the other side of the map away from them and finish them off with Fireball when they have grouped up.

This wraps up the Spell Levels Challenge in Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era.
