** First time capture of these structures generally requires fighting guardian creatures and yields treasures! Treasures include artifacts, gold, imprisoned heroes, magic power (found as mana crystals), maps, spell picks (as if you had chosen an extra rank or special ability when creating your wizard) and spells. For towers of wizardry, one of the treasures is always a spell.
*** Magic power from nodes can only be harnessed by guardian or magic spirits that meld with the nodes. Once a node has been captured, the magical area around the node shows an aura of the controlling wizard’s banner-color.
