+==== Telepathy ====
+  * Casting Success: 75%
+  * Energy Cost: 5
+  * Range: 80 cm
+This spell must be cast at the end of phase two. It
+allows the caster to examine one D6 enemy order
+counters within range, and the caster's side is then
+free to change the orders of any two of its units in
+reaction to the information acquired.
+==== Transparent Vision ====
+  * Casting Success: 75%
+  * Energy Cost: 4
+  * Range: 15 cm
+This spell may be cast on any one unit and/or
+character in base-to-base contact with that unit, or
+on any one character or monster. It allows the
+recipient(s) to look through walls, roofs and other
+solid obstacles up to 3 cm thick. In woods and
+swamps it increases the recipient(s) vision from 5 to
+cm and in jungle from 3 cm to 6 cm. The spell
+lasts for four turns.
+==== Walk on Water ====
+  * Casting Success: 80%
+  * Energy Cost: 4
+  * Range: 15 cm
+This spell allows any one character to walk on water
+for one D6 turns at normal speed. Should the spell
+fail while the character is still over the water, use the
+drowning rules featured in the Thaw Spell.
+==== Wall of Flame ====
+  * Casting Success: 50%
+  * Energy Cost: 7
+  * Range: 25 cm
+This spell creates a wall of flame, from the ground to
+Combat Height and 25 cm in length. The wall may
+be of any desired shape (use the template or a 25 cm
+length of red string to mark its position). The wall
+must be cast in a space that is unoccupied by any
+figures. It will last for one D4 turns. Any figures
+passing through the wall must roll to see if they are
+killed or in the case of characters and monsters
+wounded. Soldiers are killed and characters and
+monsters wounded on a roll of 30% or less.
+==== Warp and Splinter ====
+  * Casting Success: 60%
+  * Energy Cost: 6
+  * Range: 25 cm
+This spell may be used to destroy the specific items
+mentioned below. It will cause one D6 damage to a
+door or fence. If cast at a unit armed with spears,
+polearms or other wooden hafted weapons it will
+reduce their effectiveness, so the unit will fight from
+then on, as if it were armed with mixed weapons! If
+cast at a unit armed with bows or crossbows it will
+render those weapons useless.
+==== Wind ====
+  * Casting Success: 70%
+  * Energy Cost: 6
+  * Range: Battlefield
+This spell creates a wind that blows across the
+battlefield into the face of the enemy for one D3
+turns. During that time all smoke and mist are blown
+away (but not fog or clouds), and fires do double
+damage to buildings. While the wind lasts, all missile
+fire except from handguns, is conducted with a -2
+modifier. In addition the range of enemy missile fire
+is reduced by one quarter. The wind affects all areas
+from the ground to Combat Height.
+----
+===== ARCANE MAGIC OF THE DARK =====
+==== Blizzard ====
+  * Casting Success: 60%
+  * Energy Cost: 8
+  * Range: 40 cm
+This spell causes a localised blizzard to materialise
+around any one unit and character in base-to-base
+contact with that unit, or on one character or
+monster within range. The blizzard will last one D3
+turns, during which it will reduce the target's
+movement by - 3/4, make it impossible for the target
+to fire any missiles. In addition on each phase one the
+figures are caught in the blizzard, they must each
+roll one D100 to see if they suffer frostbite. Any
+figure rolling 10% or under is killed, while
+characters or monsters receive one wound.
+==== Battle Fury ====
+  * Casting Success: 60%
+  * Energy Cost: 6
+  * Range: 20 cm
+This spell will fill any one unit in range of the caster,
+with battle fury. The spell will last for two turns from
+the time it is cast. During that time, the unit will
+become immune to the need for Morale Tests and its
+BCP doubles.
+==== Choking Fog ====
+  * Casting Success: 45%
+  * Energy Cost: 9
+  * Range: 30 cm
+This spell envelopes any one unit and character in
+base-to-base contact with the unit, or any one
+character or monster, in range and sight of the
+caster, in a cloud of Choking Fog. The fog boils up
+from the ground and lasts for one turn. While in the
+fog, the affected unit is unable to move or fire and is
+disordered. In addition, each figure in the fog must
+roll one D100. On a roll of 25% or less the figure is
+killed, while characters and monsters suffer two
+wounds. When the fog passes, the unit must take a
+Morale Test, even if it is an elven unit. Any other unit,
+character or monster that is in base-to-base contact
+with the affected unit, while the fog is present, also
+suffers the fogs adverse affects and may in turn pass it
+on to other units, characters or monsters in base-to-
+base contact with it etcetera.
+==== Cloud of Darkness ====
+  * Casting Success: 80%
+  * Energy Cost: 2
+  * Range: 30 cm to centre of area
+This spell creates a Cloud of Darkness 20 cm in
+diameter, that rises up to Combat Height(use
+Template Two). The cloud will last for the duration of
+the battle, unless dispelled or blown away by a gale.
+Any unit, character or monster that enters the cloud,
+will find itself in a twilight world of intense gloom.
+Figures that do not owe their allegiance to Darkness,
+which are forced to take a Morale Test while in a
+Cloud of Darkness, do so with a -2 morale modifier.
+The spell Dark Vision halves this morale modifier.
+Cave Trolls while in the open can operate in Clouds of
+Darkness without fear of being harmed by sunlight.
+==== Extinguish Light ====
+  * Casting Success: 70%
+  * Energy Cost: 4
+  * Range: 25 cm
+Cast successfully, this spell will extinguish one
+Spiral or one Ring of Light. In the case of a Spiral of
+Light, the spell will only dispel the spiral if the caster
+is of a higher or equal level to the level of the Magic-
+user that created it. In the case of a Ring of Light, this
+spell will only dispel the ring if the caster is of a
+higher level than the Magic-user who created it. This
+spell has no effect on a Pillar or Sphere of Light.
+==== Freezing Fog ====
+  * Casting Success: 40%
+  * Energy Cost: 7
+  * Range: 30 cm
+For this spell to work the caster must be in range of a
+lake, marsh, river, canal or the sea. As the caster
+chants in the cursed tongue, a yellow fog will swirl up
+from the water. This fog will form itself into a cloud
+cm in diameter, that rises from the ground to
+combat height (use Template One). The cloud will last for one D4 turns and during that time the caster
+can move it up to 15 cm in phase one of each turn,
+anywhere on the battlefield. Any figure caught in the
+cloud must roll one D100. On a score of 20% or less
+the figure is killed, while characters or monsters
+receive one wound. This roll must be made each turn
+a figure is caught. All movement in the fog is -1/4.
+Missiles cannot be fired by units caught in the fog,
+and missiles fired into the fog suffer a - 4 Firing
+Modifier. Units in combat that are caught by the fog
+are immediately disordered. On a turn the caster
+moves the fog he may not cast any other spells. The
+fog will obscure the vision of anyone attempting to
+look through it and cannot be fired over.
+==== Frostbite ====
+  * Casting Success: 70%
+  * Energy Cost: 5
+  * Range: 30 cm
+This spell can be cast on any one unit and character
+in base-to-base contact with that unit, or one
+character or monster. The spell instantly lowers the
+temperature around the target and may cause injury
+through frostbite. Each figure affected must roll one
+D100. On a roll of 20% or less the figure is killed, or in
+the case of characters and monsters it receives one
+wound. Saurians affected by this spell are killed or in
+the case of characters wounded on a roll of 25% or
+less.
+==== Glamour: Despair ====
+  * Casting Success: 65%
+  * Energy Cost: 5
+  * Range: 40 cm
+This spell creates an aura of despair around any one
+unit in sight of the Magic-user for one D4 turns. As a
+result, during the duration of the spell, they suffer a
++20 modifier in Order and Reaction Tests, and a - 3
+modifier in Morale Tests.
+==== Severed Hand ====
+  * Casting Success: 40%
+  * Energy Cost: 9
+  * Range: 15 cm
+This spell summons a giant severed hand, that
+appears within 15 cm of the caster and then stalks
+across the battlefield under his control. The hand
+may be used to attack individuals, units or buildings.
+For movement and combat the hand is treated as if it
+were an unarmoured A class troll armed with a
+double-handed mace. The hand is immune to Morale
+Tests and lasts for one D6 turns, or until it has
+received 6 wounds — at which time it disappears. If
+the caster of this spell is wounded or killed while the
+hand is in existence, the hand will start to move in a
+random direction attacking anything in its path.
+==== Summon Skeletons ====
+  * Casting Success: 50%
+  * Energy Cost: 9
+  * Range: 10 cm
+Cast successfully, this necromantic spell will at the
+caster's choice either summon:
+  - Two D10 unarmoured skeletons armed with mixed weapons
+  - One D10 skeletons in Chainmail armed with either sword, axes, maces or spears.
+The skeletons will either be human or of the caster's
+race. They will materialise within range of the
+summoner (but not in the middle of a unit of living
+creatures) and fight and move at his telepathic
+command, anywhere on the battlefield. The
+skeletons will remain in existence, obeying the
+caster's every command, until destroyed, banished
+back to the Shadowlands, or terminated by the
+summoner. To terminate the skeletons, the
+summoner simply removes them from the field of
+battle. The skeletons are automatically terminated if
+the caster casts another spell or is wounded.
+Skeletons fight and move like the race to which they
+originally belonged and as if they were B class troops.
+They are immune to Morale Tests and missile fire
+against them has its FFP halved after any division for
+range has been accounted for. On the other hand,
+weapons that involve fire have their BFP and BCP
+doubled. Skeletons cannot take Reaction Tests.
+==== Tornado ====
+  * Casting Success: 50%
+  * Energy Cost: 9
+  * Range: 20 cm
+Tornadoes are funnel shaped columns of wind with
+lightning playing over the surface. They swirl up
+from the ground to Combat Height. They are highly
+destructive and once unleashed, impossible to
+control. A Magic-user who summons a tornado can
+place it anywhere on the battlefield that is clear of
+figures, at least 5 cm from the nearest enemy unit
+and within 20 cm of the caster's position.
+The tornado will last for one D4 turns. During that
+time it will move 15 cm in a random direction in
+phases 4 and 7 of each turn. Tornadoes are unaffected
+by normal terrain, and only cliffs or fortifications
+halt their progress. The Tornado's base size is
+equivalent to a Fireball template. Tornadoes
+automatically destroy any buildings (but not
+fortifications), they contact. If a tornado passes
+through a wall, fence, or hedge it will clear a path
+equal to its base size. Tornadoes that pass through
+woods also clear a path equal to their base size.
+If a tornado hits a ground unit, each figure caught
+either wholly or partly under its template must roll
+one D100. On a roll of 50% or less they are killed,
+while characters and monsters receive one wound.
+Figures within 5 cm of the template must also roll
+and on a roll of 30% or less suffer a similar fate. Units
+caught by a tornado are automatically disordered.
+If the tornado hits a flying unit or creature at
+Combat Height one D6 must be rolled. On a one or
+two the victim is hurled to the ground (see the rules
+for wounded fliers crashing on page 80) and
+disordered. On a three or four, the victim is hurled up
+to Flight Height and disordered. On any other result
+the victim is hurled 15 cm through the air in a
+random direction and disordered. If this causes the
+unit or creature to crash into an object it should
+normally have flown round, refer to the crash rules
+for wounded flyers to assess the damage.
