MAGIC SPELLBOOKS

Written By Tommy De Coninck

MAGIC SPELLBOOKS The first four spells before the line are the spells the Hero Wizard starts with. The colleges and Monster Magic are now been compiled into one handy volume so this great work can easily be used in your games. Each is listed one college per page so you can just print off whichever you require or all, however you decide. Some of the spells require the use of templates which are borrowed from the MB game Heroquest, as this game is long out of print and hard (and expensive) to get hold of they have been sourced included at the back of the article.

AMBER WIZARDS SPELLBOOK Amber spell components: Vial of Deep Water, Wolf's Claw, Nature Seed, Magical Earth and Maple Leaf. Wall of Ice (100 gc): Vial of Deep Water The caster builds up a wall of thick ice over two squares. It must be within 12 squares in sight. The wall has a WS 1, Toughness 8 and 4 Wounds. The wall of ice blocks sight. Featherlight (100 gc): Maple Leaf Target gets flight until next exploration tum. Target can now ignore deathzones. (See p.40 in rulebook.) Pittrap (100 gc): Vial of Deep Water A pittrap (1 square) opens on a square within line of sight of the caster. See rules for pittraps p.33 in rulebook. Shield of Protection (100 gc): Magical Earth All heroes and their henchman have Toughness +2 (max 12) in the next phase. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wall of Rock (100 gc): Vial of Deep Water and Magical Earth The caster must first make a successful intelligence test or the spell fails and the used components are wasted. He builds a wall of stone where there was none within 12 squares. The wall has a width of 2 squares, WS 1, Toughness 10 and 6 Wounds. Cave-in (100 gc): Nature Seed and Vial of Deep Water A successful intelligence test is required. 4 Adjacent squares within 12 squares of the caster, and partially in line of sight, collide. All models under it are rolled 6 damage dice and the caster may move them away from the cave-in (1 square). To remove the stones roll a D12 per model next to the cave-in, no other action can be performed that turn or phase. When total is greater than 100 then all stones are removed. Strangle (100 gc): Nature Seed This spell causes a vine to grow from the ceiling above the head of any model in the caster's line of sight. It wraps around the neck of the model and begins to strangle it. The model cannot move or perform any action, other than attempting to break free and takes 2 damage dice at the beginning of every hero phase. Each hero phase, after the damage is done, the target may attempt to break free. This requires a Strength test and, if successful, the model may move to an adjacent square, but may do nothing else this and next phase. The vine remains there until next exploration turn or until the caster dies and any other model moving in that square will be grabbed by the vine. The vine does no damage to undead or deamons but still prevents movement until they break free. Boulder (120 gc): Magical Earth A large stone ball manifests itself on a square next to the caster. The boulder rolls in the same direction until it hits a portcullis, wall or pittrap. It dissolves if it stops rolling. The first turn it rolls 4 squares, second turn it rolls 3, etc . Models hit, get 4 damage dice the first turn, 3 damage dice the second turn, etc. Savage Beast of Horros (150 gc): Wolf's Claw and Nature Seed The caster transforms into a legendary, raging animal.

Hail of Arrows (150 gc): Maple Leaf The caster opens his arms and between his palms a fasces of sharp, pointed arrows emerges. Roll a D12, divide the result by 3 (round up).
