The Black Art

Necromancy; The Lore Of Vampires
Lore attribute; Blood Law For every wound inflicted by the caster in the previous close combat phrase they gain +1 to cast/dispel. Signature spell; Invocation of ehek 4+/8+/12+ Target one of your own undead units or characters within 12/18/24. The targeted unit regains D6/2D6/3D6 Wounds worth of models, when utilised on Zombies 2D6/4D6/6D6 Wounds are regained. With the vampire or Ethereal rule, and non-infantry units, are harder to heal and only regain 1/2/3 Wounds. The Wounds in a unit are regained in a strict order. First, the champion is resurrected, and then other command models. These models are placed in the front rank, displacing other rank and file models as required. Once this has been done any rank and file models with multiple Wounds are healed back to the number of Wounds on their profile, then any remaining Wounds resurrect rank and file models normally up to the units starting strength, though Zombie units may be increased beyond this size. These models are added to the front rank until it reaches at least five models. Additional models may then be added to either the front or rear ranks. If the unit already has already has more than one rank, new models may only be added to the rear. Characters must be targeted separately to benefit from this spell. If the character is riding a non-cavalry mount the player must nominate whether the rider or the mount benefits from this spell. Alternatively this spell can be utilised to create a new unit of Zombies. Choose a point within 12/18/24 of the caster and place a Zombie model on it facing in any direction chosen by the caster and form up the rest of the unit around it. The new unit consists of D6+4/2D6+4/3D6+4 models and the front rank must consist of at least 5 models. The new unit must be at least 1 away from enemy units. Vanhels Danse Macabre 7+/21+ This spell can be cast on a friendly Undead unit within 12/all undead units within 12. Each unit must choose between one of the two effects below. If the target is not in close combat, it can immediately make a normal move as if it where in the Movement Phrase it can be a charge, wheel, or even reform. A unit charged by means of Vanhels Danse Macabre can react to the charge as normal and must take any necessary Psychology tests. A unit may only be affected by Vanhels Danse Macabre in this way once per Magic phase. Alternatively if the target is engaged in close combat, in the next Close Combat phase, all models in the unit benefit from the Always Strikes First special rule and may re-roll missed to hit rolls.

Gaze of agash 8+/14+ This is a magic missile with a range of 24/36. If successfully cast, the Gaze of Nagash causes 2D6/3D6 Strength 4 hits. Curse of Years (Remains in Play) 8+/12+ This spell can be cast on any enemy unit within 18/36, even one engaged in close combat. When cast, roll a D6 for each model in the unit a score of 6 causes a Wound. If not subsequently dispelled, models in the unit suffer a Wound on a 5+ at the end of the next Magic phase. At the end of the following Magic phase they will suffer a Wound on a 4+ and so on, to a maximum of 2+. No armour saves are allowed against these wounds. Wind of Undeath 12+ Roll a D6 for every enemy unit on the table (even if in combat). On a roll of 4+ suffers a wound with no armour saves allowed. Also, a new Spirit Host unit is crewated within 12 of the carter, at least 1 from the enemy, with a number of equal to the number of Wounds inflicted by the spell. For example, if the Wind of Undeath inflicts 7 Wounds, the Spirit Host unit created consists of two bases, with a total of 7 Wounds. Hand of Dust 12+ One friendly character within 12 of the caster, or the caster themselves, has the Heroic Killing Blow ability until the next friendly Magic phase. agashs Vortex of Undeath 15+/25+ Remains in play. agashs Vortex of Undeath is a magical vortex that uses the small/large round template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates a direction in which the Vortex of Undeath will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll an artillery dice and multiply the result by 3. Any model touched by the template must pass a strength test or be slain outright with no saves of any kind allowed. If the result on the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster and roll a scatter dice and a D6. The template moves the number of inches equal to the result of the D, in the direction shown on the scatter dice (if you roll a Hit!, use the little arrow shown on the Hit! Symbol). In the event, in subsequent turns, the Vortex of Undeath travels in a random direction and move a number of inches equal to the roll on an artillery dice. If a misfire is rolled in subsequent tuns, the Vortex of Undeath collapses in upon itself and is removed. For every wound inflicted by agashs Vortex of Undeath the controlling player may chose an undead unit or character that has suffered a wound earlier in the battle and heal it in the same way as in Invocation of ehek.
