+===== EQUILIBRIUM BLADE MAGIC =====
+==== BLADE OF SHARPNESS ====
+**COST: 50**
+Weapons possessing this property cut through all
+normal (but not magical) armour as if it were one
+armour type below its actual class. Thus mail and
+plate becomes chainmail, and chainmail would
+become leather. The combat modifier of non-
+magical shields is also ignored.
+==== BLADE OF INCISION ====
+**COST: 90**
+This weapon is only available to dwarfs. Blades of
+Incision are carefully tempered by the dwarven Rune
+Smiths so they will cut through any armour and
+once forged are jealously guarded by the dwarfs. All
+targets of this weapon, that do not have magical or
+electrum armour, are classed as being unarmoured,
+the combat modifier for non-magical shields is also
+ignored. Characters in magical or electrum armour
+count as if they are only in leather armour, when
+attacked by this weapon.
+==== BLADE OF FIRE ====
+**COST: 80**
+When drawn this blade bursts into flame. It may be
+used to ignite any inflammable material it hits. It will
+even burn under water. Against undead the wielder
+of this blade gains +25% to his FCP (this benefit is
+not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading). This
+blade will also cause two wounds instead of one
+against undead characters every time it hits. A Blade
+of Fire will also act as a torch if the owner is fighting
+underground or at night. Blades of Fire are reduced
+to the status of normal weapons against Armour of
+Fire Repulsion.
+==== CRYSTAL OF ACCURACY ====
+**COST: 70**
+A Crystal of Accuracy will magically enhance its
+owners ability to cast any form of missile by adding
+% to the owners FFP.
+==== CRYSTAL OF FIRE ====
+**COST: 85**
+Any missiles (except bullets) cast by the owner of
+this crystal, will automatically burst into flame as
+they fly through the air. Such missiles will ignite any
+inflammable material they land on, and if they hit a
+character or monster will cause two wounds instead
+of one. Missiles that burn with magical fire do not
+have their FFP halved against skeletons. Missiles
+that burn with magical fire are reduced to the status
+of normal weapons against characters who are clad
+in Armour of Fire Repulsion.
+==== MISSILE OF RETURN ====
+**COST: 45**
+This magic only works on spears, axes and
+hammers. The owner can cast his weapon at a foe
+within 20 cm and then the weapon will magically
+return to its owner's hand. The attack is effected in
+the missile phase, but is conducted as if the weapon
+were in combat with the target. The character is then
+free to use his weapon in combat during phase ten.
+==== GIANT DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 65**
+This weapon discriminates against giants giving
+the wielder a + 40% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading).
+==== OGRE DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 65**
+This weapon discriminates against ogres giving
+the wielder a +40% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be
+leading).
+==== SAURIAN DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 65**
+This weapon discriminates against saurians giving
+the wielder a + 40% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading).
+==== SERPENT BLADE ====
+**COST: 80**
+These blades owe their name to the winding,
+serpent pattern that ripples across their surface.
+Serpent blades are renowned for toughness and
+feared for their deadly nature. The wielder gains a
++25% to his BCP and every hit on a living character
+(but not undead characters) caused by a serpent
+blade, will result in two wounds instead of one.
+==== TROLL DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 65**
+This weapon discriminates against trolls giving
+the wielder a +35% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be
+leading).
+==== UNDEAD DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 70**
+This weapon discriminates against the undead
+giving the wielder a + 40% to his FCP against such
+foes (this benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be
+leading).

+===== DARK BLADE MAGIC =====
+==== BLADE OF FEAR ====
+**COST: 50**
+Enemy units in combat with the wielder of this
+weapon, suffer a - 2 morale modifier in all Morale
+Tests that occur as a result of that combat.
+==== BLADE OF ICE ====
+**COST: 65**
+Each hit a Blade of Ice achieves on any other living
+character causes two wounds. Blades of Ice are
+reduced to the status of normal weapons against
+Armour of Water Repulsion.
+==== BLADE OF TERROR ====
+**COST: 75**
+Any enemy unit within 15 cm of the bearer of this
+weapon, that has to take a Morale Test does so with a -
+morale modifier.
+==== BLADE OF THRALLDOM ====
+**COST: 90**
+Any unit under the direct control of a character
+wielding this weapon gains a +4 morale modifier in
+addition to the character's normal MF. However, as
+this blade tests a unit's morale to breaking point, if
+they fail any Morale Test while the modifier is in
+effect, they will automatically rout, even if the result
+is only retire.
+==== DWARF DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 75**
+This weapon discriminates against dwarfs giving
+the wielder a + 30% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading).
+==== ELF DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 75**
+This weapon has been imbued with an abiding
+hatred of elves, giving the wielder of this weapon a
++30% to his FCP when in combat with an elf (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading).
+==== HUMAN DOOM BLADE ====
+**COST: 70**
+This weapon discriminates against humans giving
+the wielder a + 35% to his FCP against such foes (this
+benefit is not enjoyed by any unit he may be leading).
+==== LIFE STEALER ====
+**COST: 85**
+This is a fearsome weapon. For each character
+slain the wielder has one wound healed. If he has no
+wounds then the blade has no effect and players
+should note that lives cannot be saved up against
+future wounds. Wounds inflicted by this weapon on
+other characters, that do not kill that character, do
+not heal any of the wielder's wounds.
