In the original game these spells are shown with an error as well: |

Hi @Branikolog , actually we have 4 lines of text based on your given screenshot. I am not sure how we are going to handle that. Could you please provide a little input for this? |

I offer you to take away word "Summon" and leave only ex: "Earth Elemental [15]". |

Moving this issue to 1.0 as the same happens in the original game. |

I looked into the issue today, Going off of @Branikolog 's suggestion, I removed the 'Summon' word from the spell name. Few things to note: |

I think at least "S." should be kept to keep with the proper spell name. Leaving it as "Air Elemental" (and same for the rest) makes it a bit odd, especially there are field versions of these spells to set as Guardian for the mines. Sure they are separated by the category, but still I think that clear "S." should be kept there. |

Hello, @Kiiro-Yakumo
Actually field spells are called "Set xxx guardian". so spell names still would be different enough not to confuse players. |

Hello everyone, I still think the word "Summon" should be part of the spell name. An Air Elemental sprite with the spell name "Air Elemental" is a kind of redundancy. But if the word "Summon" is used, it gives additional information. An Air Elemental sprite with the spell name "Summon Air" seems more appropriate. |

I agree with this. We already have "Set Fire Guardian" and not "Set Fire Elemental Guardian". |

In that case maybe "Summon Air E." ? Summon Air sounds a bit funny in itself. I have air around me, I will summon more! @Branikolog - Hello, I admit I forgot for a moment that on map Elemental spells are separate entries. |

Hi, @zenseii and @LeHerosInconnu !
At least it's referring to a noun here: " Set Fire (who?) Guardian". In a case of battle we see: "Summon Fire" which is confusing for me, personally. I would even accept a solution to show just "Summon Elemental" without an elemental type (since it refers to an icon with a picture of certain elemental type), rather than "Summon Fire" name for this spell. :) That's my personal opinion, though. Hi, @Kiiro-Yakumo !
I'm not really sure... I can't remember if I saw abbreviations somewhere else in the game UI. |

Hello everyone,
We also need to think about where the spell name will be used without the spell graphic. In fheroes2 (one example): My grading by level of understanding:
And also, what will it do for comprehension in other languages?
There are some abbreviations in the game ("Upg.", "Damg"), but I think it is not appropriate in this case. |

I am converting this into a discussion as no solution was proposed. |

So, The only solution I see for this issue now is to extend the spellbook: |

We should tighten name to fit at least three lines.

Two lines would be perfect......
