Special Spells:         Before the game starts the Magister may choose two spells from the following list at no cost. They are used like any regular spell in Chronopia.

                Dark Blood [Actions = 1, Difficulty = 3]
A fountain of caustic blood shoots out of the Magister’s hand and automatically hits the closest enemy model that is in LOS and within 9”.The target takes a Dam 12x2 hit and the Magister takes a Dam 8 hit from loss of blood. The Magister gets a save based on his PW instead of his armor.

                Vision of Torment [Actions = 1, Difficulty = 4]
The Magister may select any Warband or Individual that is within 24”.If the spell is successfully cast the target must make a Fear test at –4.

                Eye of God [Actions = 2, Difficulty = 4]

                                    If successfully cast roll a d20 and consult the table below to see how the foul Chaos Gods reward the Magister.

                                    1 - 3 &nbssp;       Falls to the ground unconscious. Is out for the rest of the game and counts as a casualty, but suffers no lasting wounds.

                                    4 - 17 &nbbsp;     +3 to one of the following stats for the rest of the game: CC, MW, PW, or LD

                                    18 - 20 &nbbsp;   +3 to all of the following stats for the rest of the game: CC, MW, PW, and LD

                Word of Pain [Actions = 2, Difficulty = 4]

                                    Center the deviation template over the Magister. Any model whose base is touched by the template takes an automatic Dam 12 hit.

                Lure of Chaos [Actions = 3, Difficulty = 12]

                                    This is a very powerful version of the Possession spell. The Magister first designates any un-activated warband or Individual within 16” as the target of the spell. If successfully cast and not saved against the warband comes under immediate control of the Magister and is immediately activated. The target will not commit suicide, but can otherwise be used as the Magister wishes. The Lure of Chaos only lasts for the current turn.

                Wings of Darkness [Actions = 1, Difficulty = 3]

                                    When successfully cast the Magister may move up to 12” in any direction. This movement is part of the casting of the spell and does need the use of a Move action.

Special Rules:          When the warband is hired you must choose one mutation for each Mutant and the Possessed.

                Hideous:                Causes Fear

                Daemon Soul:       Immunity to Magic

                Great Claw:          +1 Strength

                Cloven Hooves:    +1 Movement

                Tentacle:               Additional –1 Def

                Blackblood:          If the model takes a wound in CC the model causing the wound is splashed with acidic blood and takes an automatic Dam 8 hit.

                Spines:                   When charged or charging, your opponent takes a Dam 8 hit if they fail a LD test.

                Scorpion Tail:      One extra CC attack with no penalty at Dam 8 for every attack action used.
