The Lore of Light

White Wizardry, Soulkeeping, Guardian Magic

A hail of magical energy is unleashed, transmuting the flesh of his foes to unliving golden statues.

If a spell from the Lore of Light inflicts a number of hits on an enemy unit, it will cause an extra D6 hits (e.g. 2D6 hits would become 3D6 hits) if the target is Undead or a Daemon.

Bolts of cleansing energy fly from the Wizard's hands, searing evil wherever they strike.

Shem's Burning Gaze is a magic missile with a range of 24" and causes D6 Strength 4 hits (which count as Flaming Attacks). The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 48" and increase the Strength from 4 to 6. If he does so, the casting value is increased to 15+.

1. Pha's ProtectionCasting Value: 6+

The Wizard calls upon the beneficent Guardian of Light to protect his allies from harm.

Phâ's Protection is an augment spell with a range of 24". All attacks against the target unit (shooting or close combat) suffer a -1 penalty to hit until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. Shooting attacks that do not use Ballistic Skill must roll 4+ on a D6 before firing, or the shot(s) is lost. The Wizard can choose to have this spell affect all friendly units within 12". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

2. The Speed of LightCasting Value: 8+

Light knows no burden of flesh, and nor do those that receive its blessing.

The Speed of Light is an augment spell with a range of 24". The target unit has Weapon Skill 10 and Initiative 10 until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can choose to instead have his spell affect all friendly units within 12". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 16+.

3. Light of BattleCasting Value: 9+

Reaching into the Wind of Hysh, the Wizard draws forth ennobling energies to steady faint hearts.

Light of Battle is an augment spell with a range of 12". If fleeing, the target rallies immediately. Additionally, the target will pass all Leadership tests (regardless of modifiers) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can instead choose to have his spell target all friendly units within 12". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 18+.

4. Net of AmyntokCasting Value: 10+

The legendary Net of Amyntok was rumoured to have been woven to hold the Great Deceiver itself.

Net of Amyntok is a hex with a range of 24". The target unit must pass a Strength test every time it moves (included moving as a charger, fleeing, pursuing, moving compulsorily, etc.) or shoots or casts spells until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. If the test is passed, the target acts normally. If the test is failed, the unit is unable to perform the desired action, remaining in place and taking D6 Strength 4 hits from the net's barbs of light. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 48". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 13+.

5. BanishmentCasting Value: 10+

The purest light can destroy anything tainted by darkness.

Banishment is a magic missile with a range of 24" – the target suffers 2D6 hits. The Strength of the hits is equal to 4 plus the number of Wizards that know spells from the Lore of Light within 12" of the caster (not counting the caster himself). Successful ward saves taken against Banishment must be re-rolled. The Wizard can choose to extend the range of this spell to 48". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 13+.

6. Birona's TimewarpCasting Value: 12+

The Wizard infuses his allies with Light Magic, freeing them from the passage of time and speeding their actions.

Birona's Timewarp is an augment spell with a range of 12". The target's Movement Allowance is doubled, and its Attacks increased by 1 until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The unit also gains the Always Strikes First special rule until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can choose to instead have his spell target all friendly units within 12". If he does so, the casting value is increased to 24+.
