Rulebook

Type Magical Vortex Casting Value 9+ Range 12" Remains in Play. Place a small (3") blast template so that its central hole is within 12" of the caster. Whilst in play, the template is treated as difficult terrain. The template scatters D6" during every Start of Turn sub-phase. Any enemy unit that moves through the template, or that the template moves over, suffers D3+3 Strength 3 hits, each with an AP of -2. These hits have the Flaming Attacks special rule.

Battle Magic Lore

Unlike many Wizards who spend long hours in darkened rooms studying their arcane arts by candlelight, practitioners of Battle Magic tend to be hardy individuals, as at home on the battlefield as they are in their libraries. This is because, unlike other lores that may be studied, Battle Magic is openly offensive and tailored towards use upon the field of battle (which, given the Lore's name, should come as no surprise), and it is here that masters of the Lore hone their skill. Practitioners of Battle Magic are favoured by cunning generals all across the Old World and beyond, and their services are often in high demand. Many an opposing army has been undone by devastating fireballs cast from afar, found a cloying mist obscuring their view, their path blocked by a bend in the river that was not there before, or their courage sapped as arrows fell upon them with supernatural accuracy. Those that wield Battle Magic will draw their power from whichever of the Winds of Magic suits their purpose. They grasp at the red wind, summoning forth fire from the air to rain upon the enemy, the green wind to armour themselves with the strength of oak, the grey wind to cow and demoralise their foe, and more besides. To a Battle Mage, the incorporeal dangers of harnessing several Winds of Magic at once are of little concern – what matters most is turning the tide and ensuring swift victory.
