Among the many secrets of the [[Ancient Repositories]], the [[Wizard]] found the Hydra spell to call forth a ward to dispatch of enemies from multiple directions.
==[[Trait Synergies]]==
Hydra benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.
* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.
'''Note:''' The current [[trait]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.

[[Jay Wilson]] provided a whole new insight into the changes made to [[Runestones]] with a short quote from Gamescom, in August 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-g4tv/]
Or see [[Hydra (BlizzCon 2008)]] for the original version of this skill.
===Hydra in In Other Games===
The hydra spell was originally seen in [[Diablo I]], then called {{iw|D1_Spellbooks#Guardian Guardian}}. The principle was that three heads were summoned from the ground, shooting firebolts at enemies for a limited time. They are more fun to cast than efficient to kill anything with.
