Walküre:
--- Zitat von: lordoflinks am 2.

They also manage to avoid the word puppet and its connotations and thus I believe one of them strikes the compromise we need between acknowledging Saruman's agency and highlighting the subtle nature of the manipulations of the Dark Lord.

I really like the former, for it is centred on Sauron's subtle influence via the Palantír. Even though, in order to honour the very spell's title (Tolkien's own words), I would also include ''Saruman unveils his true schemes''. The final result should thus consist of ''Saruman consorts with Sauron through the Palantír and unveils his true schemes''. By means of the last sentence we can also connect with the volubility of intent which I have previously addressed.
--- Zitat ---For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!'
I looked then and saw that his robes, which had seemed white, were not so, but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they shimmered and changed hue so that the eye was bewildered.
I liked white better,' I said.
White!' he sneered. 'It serves as a beginning. White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken.'
In which case it is no longer white,' said I. 'And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'

From Gandalf's memories
EDIT: I just realised that the 'his' in the second sentence might be misunderstood as Sauron's own plans. Nevertheless, I guess we can play with grammar here. The description is in fact enigmatic and deceiving (the themes of our recent discussion): whose plans are being unveiled? Saruman's (independent desires) or Sauron's (his snares, as he's manoeuvring the wizard)? A quite witty of a dilemma... xD

100% Everything depends on what angle and which side to look at
By the way, during this discussion, I got a question or a remark anyhow: Saruman gets a good push for development in the form of a bonus, like Gandalf himself. And guess what is possible Galadriel and Elrond, too, can receive development bonuses. And now the question itself: what about the Necromancer :( :( :(??? With such strong oponents! Will there ever be any use from it ??? He is still weak, in terms of support one of the best, but as a hero of direct exposure weak! I hope Necromancer will also get some bonuses xD?!?

Necromancer is a great support and a single immortal hero for a price of 1000 recourses. He may be vulnerable but only alone as any other hero. He can trap heroes and burn them to death. I only mentioned his greatest offensive fiery spells. With him being balanced and made up so perfectly there is no need to do anything with him. Also other faction leaders do not really need such a buff like Gandalf or Saruman have. Keep in mind the concept of uniqueness.
Elendils Cousin 3. Grades:
If only there was a spell that could turn the necromancer into some sort of shapeshifting beast, who could turn into a giant werewolf or into Batman, kill pretty much every other hero in the game, summon a fortress shooting lightning bolts and create fire pillars out of thin air... if only :(
