counts as a separate command) to place by the units
under his control. Each time a character or
individual is commanded to do something, he stands
a 20% chance plus his CF (if any), of rejecting the
command and breaking the spell. Each time an order

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
15 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.
