If the victim is a character, in phase two the caster can tell the character which order counters (each counter 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 is given, roll one D100. If the score is under or equal to 20% plus the victim's CF if any, the character/individual has broken the caster's hold.

This spell lasts until the victim breaks it, the caster is wounded or killed, or the caster dispels it through choice or because he casts another spell. The caster cannot ask the victim to commit suicide or attack his friends.

Cast successfully, this necromantic spell will at the caster's choice either summon:

1. Two D10 unarmoured skeletons armed with mixed weapons
2. 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.

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.
