Magic Sequence1 / Generate Power & Dispel Dice
2 / Cast spells
3 / Attempt to dispel
4 / Spell fails or spell succeeds
5 / Repeat steps 2 to 4 (cast again)
6 / Dispel spells in play
1. Generate Power & Dispel dice
Power Dice generated as follows:
Army 2
Each Wizard Level 1 (for use by that Wizard)
Dispel Dice generated as follows:
Army 2
Dwarfs +2
Level 1 or 2 Wizard
or Runesmith +1
Level 3 or 4 Wizard
or Runelord +2
Fleeing or dead Wizards do not generate dice and cannot cast spells.
2. Cast spells
A Wizard may attempt to cast each of his spells once. Wizards who have rallied in the movement phase may cast spells as normal.
· Nominate a spell and target
· Roll as many power dice as you wish (up to 1 more than the Wizard’s level)
· If the total is equal to or greater than the casting value the spell is cast (a minimum dice result of 3 is required for all spells)
Miscasts
Rolling two or more 1s means the spell has been Miscast. Roll 2D6 and consult the miscast table.
Irresistible Force
Rolling two or more unmodified 6s means the spell has been cast with Irresistible Force - it cannot be dispelled. If a spell is cast with Irresistible Force and is a Miscast then the spell fails – miscast takes precedence.
3. Attempt to Dispel
The opposing player may make one attempt to dispel the enemy’s spell. Roll as many Dispel dice as you wish up to the maximum number you have. If the total is equal to or greater than the score rolled by the casting player then the spell is dispelled.
Double 1s and 6s
If two or more 1s are rolled, then the dispel attempt automatically fails. If two or more 6s are rolled then the dispel attempt automatically succeeds.
4. Spell fails or spell succeeds
Apply the affects of the spell as described in the spell description
5. Cast again
If you have more Power dice and spells to cast you may cast again
6. Dispel spells in play
If the player has any Power dice left he may attempt to dispel any spells that remain in play from a previous magic phase. Afterwards, his opponent may use any remaining Dispel dice to dispel any spells that remain in play from a previous magic phase.
