New Spells

I've used that spell before in WarCraft 3. Neat spell.

Actually, "Shadow Bite" would be Conjuration. You'd conjure the black hole in his heart, not form it out of pure magic.

I 'think' there was a mana drain spell in Diablo

[ndcent168]

You are correct. There is a mana burn spell, but is only useable by the enemy creatures.

[Pwincess]

A spell like that would certainly be useful against enemy spell casters

[Corsair5]

Then there will be spellcasting enemies? Heh, there was only like two in the whole QFG series..the Centaur Wizards (5) and the Leopardmen (3)

Not quite true.

Night Elf's Demon Hunter's Skills

Mana Burn
Sends a bolt of negative energy that burns a target enemy unit's mana. Burned mana combusts, dealing damage to the target equal to the amount of mana burned.

Mana Burn Information
Mana Burn is best used against enemy Heroes. You can also use Mana Burn against annoying enemy spellcasters such as Priests, Sorceresses, or Shamans.

Taken from Blizzard's WarCraft 3 Strategy Guide on Demon Hunters

Demon Hunters aren't considered as enemies and you do have the option to play as one.

We were refering to Diablo, not WarCraft 3. You are, however, correct when discussing WarCraft 3.

[Swift]

I see. I thought you were talking about WC 3 as you had used the name "Mana burn" while Pwincess used the name "Mana drain" when talking about Diablo, and you didn't indicate in your post that you were talking about Diablo. That was how the confusion arose.

There was the Kobald Magic-User as well... though you didn't fight him on a traditional battle screen.  And possibly not at all if you were the Thief.

There was also the Chernovy(sp?) and the Dark One cult leader.  The Maines(sp?) enemies in QFG5 cast certain spells, as well.

I stand corrected. Thank you, Striker. I forgot all about them. Though the Kobold was a boss, similar to Ad Avis or the Demon Wizard.

There was also the Wraiths. They cast spells during the battle.
