Matriarch of Darkness

This unit is from The Era of Magic. Its coding and art were done by inferno8.

The title of 'Matriarch of Darkness' is the highest a witch can achieve. They are often considered female equivalents of Great Warlocks, which is not too far from truth, given their skill. They create dark auras around themselves, which weaken nearby enemy units, both physically, and mentally, as well as boosting fellow Tharis troops.

Special Notes: This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. The victims of this unit’s poison will continually take damage until they can be cured in town or by a unit which cures. This unit is able to slow its enemies, halving their movement speed and attack damage until they end a turn. During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health.
