Lore of Yin
URL Copied!

Those that study the art of Yin magic wield dark and dangerous powers. They twist together the Winds of Magic to craft potent spells of brutal force, spells that can twist nature and upend the natural order of the world. At their command, the very light retreats, replaced by dark shadows from which elemental creatures creep to do their bidding.

A Wizard with the 'Lore of Yang' special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below.

Elemental spirits descend upon the foe, enveloping them in a whirlwind of flickering shapes and ghostly gales.

As they try to advance, those afflicted find themselves waylaid by the grasping talons of unseen spirits and buffeted by spectral winds.

The Wizard creates a magical barrier of shifting darkness and howling wind around the enemy. This barrier snatches the enemy's missiles from the air and swallows the tips of their spears, instantly turning the lethal power of these weapons back upon their bearers.
