Spells and what they do

Some spells in the game have no reason to be a spell. For example, The taunt spell, it goes onto an enemy but does nothing to him. Also, the spell that has a white bird picture on it, {Sorry, I forgot the spells name} What does it do Please, please, please, answer back

you can call them taunt/ soothe, they make enemies focus more on you, or makes them focus less on you it was a life saver when we went through briskbreeze, everyone attacked our ice not us

Taunt makes the enemy attack you. The dove spell is opposite. It makes the enemy NOT attack you.

Taunt attempts to cause the enemies to attack the caster. This is useful if you have a lot of health (i.e. Ice Wizard) and want the enemy to attack you and leave other wizards with less health (i.e. Storm Wizard) alone.

Calm (the dove) attempts to stop the enemies from attacking the wizard it's used on and get the enemies to attack other wizards. It's useful to cast on an enemy with low health whose teammates have a lot of health.

Note three things about both of those spells:

1) They're useless if you're fighting solo (but not necessarily useless if you have a minion or henchman).

2) They don't work in Player-vs-Player battles.

3) They don't work every time.

The spell taunt does do something.

The white bird spell (Pacify, Calm, Subdue and Soothe) do the exact opposite of taunt. Reduce Threat on Target. Makes enemies go after someone else in your group.

Taunt spells and Soothe spells will only work if there's more than one player fighting the enemy, Taunt will increase a monster's threat level toward you, while Soothe will decrease it.

The effects of these spells are written on their cards in plain English. Taunt "generates threat on the target", which means it makes the targeted monster attack you, and Pacify (the card you're referring to, and by the way the "white bird" is called a dove) "reduces threat on target", which means it makes the targeted monster not attack you.

well, taunt doesn't work on most creatures. Elites and bosses are immune to taunts. Wizards are too also, the bird card is called pacify, and on normal monsters it directs their attention away from you.

This is untrue. Taunts work on all NPCs including elites and bosses. Stuns and Beguile are the only spells that don't work on bosses.

Thanks Guys, I've always wanted to now. However, Whenever I try stun spells on celestian bosses, They never get stunned.

Keep posting :D

If you put the beguile on the minion of the boss it will attack the boss. I agree, beguile doesn't work on the bosses.
Soothe and taunt I normally don't use.
