Reading a Spell Profile

A spell profile is structured as follows:

"Spell Name - Charge #, Range #", S#, Phase, Special Rules.

Each part of the profile provides key information about the spell:

• Spell Name: The universally understood name of the spell, though different cultures and factions may have unique names for it.

• Charge #: The number of Affinity points required to cast the spell. To cast it, reduce your model’s Affinity count by this amount.

• Range #: The range of the spell, either as a direct distance to a target or an area-of-effect radius.

• S# (Strength): If the spell causes damage, use this value to make a wound roll.

• W# (Wound): The number of wounds inflicted on the target if the spell is successful.

• Phase: The phase that this spell can be cast.

• Special Rules: Specifies when the spell can be used (such as a specific phase) and any other unique interactions.

• Up Charge: Some spells allow players to pay more affinity to increase it's effect.
