The Lore of Life is the magical lore of the growing earth and as such is hound to the changing seasons. Few creatures of any race understand the nature of growing things as do these Wizards. It is a form of magic that exists in all water and vegetation and which is strongest when it is close to places where rivers run and where woods and forests grow most abundantly.

To randomly generate a spell, roll a D6 and consult the chart below. If you roll the same spell twice for the same Wizard, roll again.

Cast on 6+
This spell can be cast upon an enemy unit that is within 12" of a river, stream, bog, or any other water feature on the tabletop which has been identified as such before the game. If there are no such features in range, it can be cast on any enemy unit within 6" of the caster. It cannot be used against a unit that is engaged in close combat. IF successfully cast, the ground beneath the unit is turned to swamp and the unit moves at half speed until the end of its own following turn. IF forced to flee, for whatever reason, the unit flees at half speed. This spell has no effect on flyers or ethereal creatures.

The swamp disappears at the end of the opposing player's Magic phase.

Cast on 7+
The Father of the Thorn can he cast on an enemy unit within 24" of the caster, which is not engaged in combat and which is visible to the caster. If successfully cast, thorns and briars shoot from the earth entangling limbs and tearing at flesh.The spell causes 2D6 Strength 3 hits.

The thorns wither and disappear at the end of the Magic phase.

Remains in Play
Cast on 7+
Remains in Play Cast on 7+ This spell can be cast upon the Wizard himself successfully cast, no shooting with Strength 4 or less ran be targeted at units within 12" of the Wizard - even if some models in the unit are more than 12" away The howling wind engulfs the whole unit if any part of it is within 12" of the caster. This doesn't prevent units from firing through or out of the affected area at targets beyond. In addition, all enemy units within 12" of the Wizard move at half speed due to the effect of the howling wind. Note that this move penalty only applies when actually within the affected area - enemy treat the entire zone as if it were difficult ground Once cast, the spell lasts until dispelled, the Wizard chooses to end it (which he can do at any time), attempts to cast another spell or is slain.

If there is no such features in range, it can be cast on any enemy unit within 6" of the caster. If cannot be used against a unit that is engaged in close combat. If successfully cast, the unit is battered by the branches of the trees if within a wood, or lashed at by roots which erupt from the ground if there is no wood nearby.

This causes D6 Strength 4 hits on the unit, plus a further D6 Strength 4 hits if it is partially or wholly within the wood. This spell does not affect Dryads or Treemen. At the end of the Magic phase, the trees are still again or the roots retract back into the earth

Cast on 8+

If there are no such features in range, it can be cast on any enemy unit within 6" of the caster. It cannot be used against a unit that is engaged in close combat. If successfully cast, shards of stone fly against the unit

The spell causes D6 Strength 5 hits on the unit, plus a further D6 Strength 5 if the unit is partially or wholly within the feature.

Cast on 9+
This spell can he cast on an enemy unit within 24" and which is visible to the caster. If successfully cast, the target unit is enveloped in rain and gets a soaking.

A soaked unit must roll a 4, 5 or 6 when attempting to shoot because bow strings become damp and useless whilst ropes stretch and don't work properly. A unit using gunpowder, including cannons, must roll a 6 in order to shoot. Dwarf Flame Cannons and any other shooting weapons powered by steam, blackpowder or flame must also roll a 6. If the roll is failed, the affected unit cannot shoot during that Shooting phase. Once affected a unit stays soaked for rest of game - this is not a magical effect, you are wet! A unit can only be soaked once.
