- prison: captured heroes sit in cells apart from the torture chamber, do not defect and starve in time; the hand can move prisoners between cells and torture
- graveyard: the fallen are buried there; after a while some rise as revenants (undead: no food, no sleep, life drain from level 5)
- guard post: creatures hold the position and attack whatever comes into view
- arena: creatures spar in pairs for fast, free experience, at the cost of bruises
- sacrifice altar: creatures dropped on it are sacrificed; certain pairs bring a rare creature, otherwise a blessing (mood and mana)
- researched in the library, campaign unlocks, textures, furniture, texts EN/DE, bestiary

- researched in the library (and unlocked in the campaign), in the spells menu with own icons and a radius under the pointer
- haste speeds up everything a creature does, stoneskin halves damage, invisible creatures are ignored by enemies and towers until they attack (drawn see-through), plague spreads among enemies, quake hurts and stuns enemies only, cave-in turns floor back into earth
- particles for every spell

- studying creatures collect research points (mages and owls best, higher levels faster); studying gives less mana than before
- free play starts with the basics; campaign missions know what their story allows and can research what the next four missions would bring
- research shown in the top bar; the library's info lists the current item and what comes next; locked tools say whether they can be researched
