GORRUM MAGI SPELLS
Magi spend many countless hours over a period that can stretch into
decades studying and training for their craft at the Colleges of Magic that are situated
in the major cities of the Empire. The largest of these is situated in Karabad,
capital of the Empire, and covers hundreds of acres behind its ornate walls and towers.
In these universities the aspiring Magi apprentices train in magecraft, alchemy,
and astrology. They are taught the formulas needed in the making of magic potions
and the incantations and symbolisms needed for the casting of spells. They are also
given a classical education in history, theology, statecraft, oration, and rhetoric.
They are taught to keep journals and notes on everything they do, and everything
they observe, for from these observations they can better understand the world about them
and how their craft is affected by that world and how that world affects them and their
craft. The more powerful Magi are those who have the natural talent and have the
dedication to spend the many grueling hours that it takes to master their craft. It
is said amongst the Magi that only time can bring wisdom.

GORRBA SHAMAN SPELLS
Gorrba Shamans are said to be born with the Spirit Wind, and are
able to speak with the spirits of Nature and to commune with those spirits who serve their
gods and from these spirits they learn to use spells and to make healing potions,
fertility potions, and other strange things. Gorrba Shamans are looked on with both
respect and fear by the average Gorrba. They wear wild costumes, and decorate their
hair and bodies with bits of bone, and bird feathers. They wear jewelry made from
animal bones and precious metals. Some also wear wild tattoos, and paint their
faces. In all the Gorrba Shaman is a fearsome site to the rest of the Gorrba
population, and many of the other races of the Gorrum Empire as well.

WS6 and S6. In addition, the terrifying aspect of the beast's form causes fear
in its foes. The spell remains in play once cast. Once in beast form the

in the usual way.

| HUNTING SPEAR |

bending and twisting around obstacles in its path. If the target is a single model
it hits automatically and inflicts a S6 hit inflicting not 1 but D3 wounds. If the
target is a unit of troops the spear acts like a bolt thrower - if it kills the first
model it strikes a model behind at S5, if it kills this second model it strikes a model
behind at S4, and so on. No armour saving throw is permitted for normal armour but
armour saves from magic armour are allowed. |

spell. While the spell remains in play no models may move or shoot missiles across
