The Caress of Laniph is a direct damage spell with a range of 12" that targets a single enemy model (even a character in a unit). If successfully cast, the target suffers a number of hits equal to 2D6 minus his own Strength. Hits from the Caress of Laniph cause a wound on a roll of 4+, with no armour saves allowed. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 24". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 12+.
