Magic

How magic works

     Magic is by far the most powerful weapon in Terrisi, but use it too much and it could kill the user. Each time a wizard casts a spell, it saps strength from him. The reason for this is, he reaches up and draws the magic into himself, he then transforms it to the shape he needs and throws it back out. As it leaves his body, it loses strength, kind of like going through a filter. So it takes some of the caster's strength with it, to keep the strength it originally had.

How to actually use the magic is in the rules section under magic.

Terminology-

Suffer # wounds- means it does damage

Receive # wounds- means healing

-# to hit- means your required roll to hit goes down by #

+# target number- means your opponents required roll to hit goes up by #

Add +# to target number- means your required roll to hit goes up by #
