Casting Spells

Casting a spell requires a Channeling Proficiency check


(see below) with a target number of 2 + 2* the spell's level.
Characters without the Magic Acuity Proficiency may still
cast spells, but their Channeling skill is treated as one
Grade lower than it is. If they only have Grade I and lack
Magic Acuity, they roll 2d20 and take the lowest as
normal, but both dice count for Mishaps.
There are three ways to cast spells:
Unfettered: This is the default form described
above.
Fettered: The spell is cast more safely, but with
less power. The caster's Channeling skill is treated
as one Grade lower than normal, but no Mishap is
possible. Only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Level spells may be
cast Fettered.
Push: The caster may temporarily cast spells of a
higher level than their usual maximum, up to
three levels higher. However, for every Level
above the character's normal maximum, the
character adds a Chaos Die to their Channeling
Proficiency checkan additional d20 which does
not contribute to casting spells, but does
contribute to the possibility of a Mishap.
Every spell has an ingredient. Ingredients are not
necessary to cast a spell, but if the caster has them, they
provide a +1 bonus to the Channeling Proficiency check to
cast the spell per 2 spell levels, (+2 at 3 rd or 4th, etc.). An
ingredient is only good for one casting of a spell.

Modified/New Disciplines

Aethyric Attunement: 2 skill points x grade. The


character has a greater attunement to the Winds of Magic
than most. They gain a +1 bonus per Grade to casting
spells up to 6th Level or to using the Magic Acuity
proficiency.

spell. Characters are not limited to learning spells of their


Magic Rating or lower.
Wizard: 10 skill points. The character is a wizard, one of
those born with the ability to manipulate the Winds of
Magic. Purchasing Wizard automatically includes a Magic
Rating of 1.

Modified/New Skills

Channeling: 3 skill points per grade (Intellect). This is the


proficiency used to actually cast spells. A character with
Channeling can weave the Winds of Magic safely, creating
the effects known as spells.
Magic Acuity: Modified. Magic Acuity, called Witchsight
by wizards, allows the character to see the Winds of
Magic. Magical items can be detected, active spells
identified, and even wizards can be found out through the
use of this proficiency.

Learning New Spells

Most wizards focus on a single category of magic, known


as their Lore. This approach is safer, as it minimizes the
chance of accidentally using Dark Magic, but it is limiting.
When creating a wizard, if you pick a Lore, you are
forever locked into that lore. Casting any other spells
requires the use of the Dark Magic Discipline even if you
aren't Pushing the spell.
If you prefer, you may be a hedge wizard. Hedge wizards
add a Chaos Die to all their spells and may not raise their
Magic Rating above Grade III, but they may select any
spells they want from any Lore.

Mishaps

Whenever a spell is cast, if any of the dice come up 1, then


a Mishap occurs, even if the spell is successful. Check

power, allowing them to safely cast spells of higher

character automatically gains two spells of the new level.

to fail and lead part of the army astray.
You impossibly quicken the travel of a body of soldiers. In
one night, they, you, and all your assistants traveling with
you, can traverse any distance at all to arrive at dawn at
your destination. Your destination may be any place that it
would be possible to travel to on foot. For example, the
destination could not be across an ocean, but if there was a
land round to circumvent the ocean, then it would be legal,
no matter how long it would normally take. However,
inside a castle at siege would not be legal, because there is
no way to simply walk there.
The total number of soldiers that may be transported is
equal to your Magic Rating multiplied by all the Magic
Ratings of the wizards who are assisting you. From the
perspective of those affected, they march all night through
an impenetrable fog, arriving exhausted. You and your
assistants do not count against the amount of soldiers who
can be transported, nor do the mounts of cavalry, but at
least half of those who travel must be soldiers.

You become very easy to ignore. Anyone who wants to


approach and interact with you must succeed on a Mental

so recently. Even those who succeed on this check must
make another check to remember any details other than

outside evidence. If the object is used in any fashion it

Dark Magic

The following Lores all require use of the Dark Magic Discipline merely to cast. As such, they cannot benefit from
Dark Magic's benefit to casting Unfettered spells, but they do still all require an extra Chaos Die included in the total
whenever they are cast.
Both the Lore of Necromancy and the Lore of Nagash deal with the undead. The Lore of Necromancy is typically
known by mortal necromancers and those who learn from plundered tomes, whereas the Lore of Nagash is typically
known by vampires, liches, mummies, and those mortal servants they deign to teach the secrets of undeath.
A mishap on two dice or more when casting a spell from the Lore of Nagash or the Lore of Necromancy produces a side
effect in addition to the normal mishap. See WFRP Page 159, or The Dark Path page 7.

Lore of Chaos

Woe, O world! The Age of Mortals is coming to an end.


Time passes into oblivion, and the stars lapse in the sky.
The dreadful breed of night is crawling out of darkness, to
take possession of the world. Fools! Seek refuge in faith or
madness, for there's no longer any other place to hide. The
Reign of Chaos has begun.
Ergrimm van Horstmann
In order to give Chaos as many spells as the other
expanded Lores, the various Lores from the Tome of
Corruption have all been combined here. For those who
wish to separate them out, spells from the Lores of Nurgle,
Slaanesh, and Tzeentch have the appropriate letter after
them to aid sorting.

Lore of Misfortune
Lore of Nagash

"In that dread desert, beneath the moons pale gaze, dead
men walk. They haunt the shifting dunes of the breathless,
windless night, brandish weapons of bronze in mocking
challenge and bitter resentment of the life they no longer
possess. And sometimes, in ghastly dry voices, like the
rustling of sun-baked reeds, they whisper the one word
they remember from life. The Name of the one who cursed
them to their existence, more than death but less than life.
They whisper the name, Nagash."
From the Nehekharan Book of the Dead, translated by
Mannfred von Carstein
The Lore of Nagash is ill-suited for the living. If any living
wizard casts a spell from this Lore, they automatically take
damage equal to the spell's Level.
