I'm playing for the first time as Theria (normally I play as Humans or Elves), and something odd is happening in my cities. Whenever I train a new unit, it starts off with an ability not listed in that unit's info screen; it usually gets Ranger or Tireless, depending on the city. Then if I save the game and reload it, all abilities added this way disappear. Is this normal, and if not, what is?

Another question: How do I stop Call the Void if I'm the one who cast it? Major/Minor Cancellation don't work.

I don't think you can stop the Void once it has been called. And regarding the Theria, I think that might be a bug... if it isn't it's probably an effect from a building. :unsure

That sucks, since in some games I've used it--purely by accident--to cause some of my best cities to starve to death.

I checked out the added special abilities thing regarding the Theria. I couldn't find a single Theria building that added any ability. Also, for the "disappearing" abilities when loading, it turns out I was looking at units that I'd started the game with, and they don't start with any additional ability. Bug or no, I'm finding it (moderately) useful.

You should be able to cancel Call the Void (or any other global enchantment) from your mirror screen, by clicking on it.

Regarding the Theria, please attach a saved game in the forum.

Here's my Theria game file.

I'm not using Chaos magic at the moment, so I can't check on canceling Call the Void. I'll try later today or tomorrow, and report back as soon as I can.

I checked out Call the Void; I couldn't find anything about canceling it, on the Mirror screen or otherwise. I'd post the game file here, but unfortunately, I accidentally overwrote it.

Also while playing Theria, I tend to get weird messages every so often about units I don't have. The more common ones are "Rootless One was killed by the enemy population" (I didn't have any Rootless Ones at the time), and "Shapeshifter has fallen into the Void" (and my sole Shapeshifter was nowhere near the Void).

Got another game file with Call the Void. I also made sure to have another global spell, Rejuvenation, for comparison. Rejuvenation disappears when cancelled; Call the Void does not.
