Perusing the 3.0 rules, I noticed a couple of things that aren't good or bad, but may be worth noting.

*Interesting how the racial spells were shuffled - like how Scent of Fear is now gold and a Goblin spell, while Honor the Dead is now also gold and a Feral spell.
*Every race now only has 2 racial spells, except the Undead, who have 4. That's not a bad thing, mind you. Less is more!
*Mirage has been expanded, but if I'm reading it right it affects all units of only one size, so a 10 pt. Mirage affects ONLY medium (formerly known as uncommon) units.
*Howl is better than Screech.
*Firewalking is now identical to Teleport. Word for word.
*Looks like the only SAIs that work on a melee attack but not a counter attack are Surprise and Charge. Are there any others?
*I ask because Convert says that units are returned to the "marching" army, which implies that it won't work for a counterattacking army, because if it's counterattacking, it isn't the marching army.
*One big thing I noticed is that Fly no longer works during a dragon attack. I reach that conclusion by comparing it to the new kid, Hoof, which is worded identically, except Hoof has an explicit effect during a dragon attack. Now, one can argue that Fly does work, because a dragon attack is a save roll, and Fly works during a save roll, but then why not say so right there? Chuck implied in another thread that Fly's wording has reverted back to its previous, more Trample-like wording, but until we actually see the updated rules this is what we have to go on.

Spells were limited, "bad" spells dropped. So we ended up reassigning spells.

You are reading Mirage correctly.

Howl has always been better than Screech.

Firewalking and Teleport ended up the same when we took out avoidance rolls.

Only Surprise and Charge don't work during a counter-attack.

Convert has an error, "marching army" should be "attacking army".

Fly has been fixed to work during any roll.
