Spells

Eye of Kilrogg

Summons a controllable Eye of Kilrogg, which can be used to remove Fog of War (costs 70 Mana)

The Ogre-Mage creates a free-floating apparition in the form of a disembodied Eye that he can then direct through the air to look down upon enemy forces and encampments. Named for the great leader of the Bleeding Hollow clan, this ever vigilant Eye transmits its view to the caster, giving him the knowledge of both the lands it wanders and those creatures who live there. The Eye will vanish after a time, leaving the Ogre-Mage with the knowledge of the terrain.

Bloodlust

Puts a powerful buff on a friendly unit (costs 50 Mana, range: 6)

This enchantment is used to instill an insatiable lust for blood into a fellow warrior, causing him to enter into a savage, berserk rage. A fighter who feels this Bloodlust deals more damage to his opponents than normally could be done. Although this spell bestows no permanent effects upon one so enchanted, it has been known to push an already bloodthirsty Orc over the edge...
In the beta Version of Warcraft II, the Bloodlust spell had a different icon.

Runes

Summons trapped runes over an area (costs 200 Mana, range: 10) (note: runes will not appear on occupied squares, but the spell will cost 40 less Mana for each rune that fails to appear)

The casting of ancient and powerful Runes enables the Ogre-Mage to lay an abstruse trap for those hapless enough to enter into it. When these Runes explode, they cause massive damage to anyone standing over them as well as all those in adjacent areas. Those who are diligent and watchful will catch a glimpse of the Rune as they approach it. The chaotic forces that make up this enchantment can not discern between ally or enemy and will kill a friend as surely as a foe. Heed these warnings well, as even staying near these Runes can be hazardous - for when the dwoemer dissolves, they explode as if their magiks had been triggered.

Notes

• Dentarg is a powerful hero with much higher stats than a normal Ogre-Mage, but his spellcasting abilities are no better.
• He appears as a controllable unit in the Beyond the Dark Portal Horde missions The Skull of Gul'dan and The Dark Portal. His survival is a victory condition in the former, but not in the latter.
• While Dentarg begins the game with a mana bar, he will not know any spells when placed on a custom map, but will learn any that you research at an Altar of Storms. In the campaign, he will start knowing the same spells as your other Ogre-Magi.
