: Alric was resistant (he's never immune) to lightning back

Well Alric is very resistant to lightning but Balmung does make him immune to it. I remember placing a berserk on a map with Balmung and The Deciever. The Deciever used his Cloudkill on that berserk who had the sword Balmung and he never got hurt by the Cloudkill which does electric damage. If you check in Fear in the artifact you can see the unit with the sword Balmung will be immune to lightning.
: Except that it was supposed to be a Light age. The last

: Then Soulblighter tried to make it Dark, and he too
: failed.
Yeah, Balor failed in making the Sword Age into a dark age... or at least we think that. The Sword Age is not over yet but so far it seems the cycle has been broken.
