Dragon Dice Magic Spells (page 1 of 2) dangelo@netcom.com 12/13/96Magic RulesThis section reflects the revised rulebook costs.The costs in the Firewalkers expansion wereraised by one due to a note in The Undead.Magic from a player's reserve army can be castonly on that player's armies and units. Otherplayer's dice cannot be targeted by that army'sreserve magic.An army cannot cast magic that inflicts damageon another army belonging to that same player.In other words, you can't cast harmful magic onyourself.If a player has no units remaining in play, anyspells he has in play are immediately negated.With the exception of the Burning Hands spell,which targets an individual unit, all spells castupon an army that then moves away are negated.When an army's roll is to be both halved anddoubled, all halving occurs before doubling.Round down when halving.Possession of a temple face prevents any newblack spells from targeting the possessing army; itdoes not negate those already affecting that army.Possession of a temple face does not preclude ablack dragon from being sent to that terrain.Races and Magic DoublingAmazons can cast magic of the color of the terrainthey are on. They only double magic resultswhen in possession of a standing stones terrain.Other races can only cast magic of the colors intheir die.Magic that happens because of ID icons isdoubled if it is of the same color as one of theterrain's colors on which it is rolled. Magic fromnormal magic icons is never doubled.Black magic (by an army not in reserve) may bedoubled by burying an equal number of health indead units from any one player (but that playerchooses which units to bury). Remember thatonly magic from ID icons can be doubled. Also,all magic created by burying units must be spent.Magic is never doubled in the reserves.Black (Death) Spells2 Decay (Swamp Stalker only)Subtract 1 from the melee hit results of thetarget army until the beginning of your nextturn.
