Alchemy
Alchemist
Alchemists study the branch of magic or science which deals with matter and its properties. They are experts at preparing chemical
compounds and recognising mineral ores. Alchemists may be of great assistance to any metal-worker and are able to prepare
explosives for gunpowder weapons - provided the character has the required Chemistry skill. The Alchemist must have a supply of
refined saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal, which need to be mixed in the correct proportions. This process takes 8 hours to produce 6
pounds of gunpowder from 4 pounds of saltpetre, 1 pound of sulphur, and 1 pound of charcoal, assuming the Alchemist has access to a
laboratory.
Many Alchemists, however, consider it beneath them to use their skills for such worldly matters and devote themselves to acquiring
knowledge. Research into how to turn base substances into gold is an especially popular field of research, but one which has proved
fruitless to date.
Alchemists are also able to use magic, although their spellcasting ability is less than that of a Wizard of the same level. Alchemists may
only use spells of a level below their own; thus, a level 3 Alchemist can use level 1 and 2 spells, while a level 1 Alchemist can only use
Petty Magic.
Alchemists are by far and away the most didactic of all spellcasting Academics. Many are based in Universities (in the Empire) or
indeed run their own schools. Admission to such an establishment is open to anyone who has completed a career as an Alchemist's
Apprentice - taking all advances and available skills.
At the end of their apprenticeship, Alchemists undergo one additional month of training, at the end of which they expend 100 EPs and
are then considered 1st level Alchemists and (after acquiring the Cast Spells skill) are able to cast any Petty Magic spells that they have
learned from their teacher (GMs should always let new Alchemists learn at least 1 Petty Magic spell).

Hedge-Wizardry
Hedge-Wizard
Hedge-wizards are common in rural areas, where their mixture of magic, herbalism, and quackery is frequently in demand by peasants
who cannot afford more professional services. Hedge-wizards can range from harmless old men and women (often called warlocks and
witches) to sinister recluses living in ruined towers.
Their main distinguishing feature is their lack of formal magical training. Many cannot read or write and have discovered spells in their
own eccentric fashion, which bears little resemblance to the formal theories of the magical colleges. Their dabblings in magic
sometimes leads them into the dangerous paths of necromancy and daemonology and experienced hedge-wizards often know more
about such things than more formally-trained wizards. Much of their time is spent working with herbs and medical potions (which some
may pass off as magic), healing the sick, and telling fortunes.
Hedge-wizards can learn and cast spells from any discipline of magic, except Colour and High Magic, up to their level of hedgewizardry. However, spells from disciplines other than petty magic cost double the normal cost (i.e., 400 EPs per level) and a hedgewizard can learn no more than four non-petty magic spells at each level. This is because hedge-wizards have had little or no formal
training in magic and, therefore, have difficulty understanding other methods of describing and explaining spells.
Their lack of knowledge of Arcane Language: Magick and, in many cases, the fact that they cannot even read means that hedgewizards must either learn spells from a teacher or invent them themselves, which is time-consuming and often unsuccessful.
Being able to learn spells from any discipline can allow hedge-wizards to become powerful users of magic, although, if it happens, this
will take a long time. Gamesmasters are free to veto any spells that they don't think a Player Character hedge-wizard could reasonably
have learned during a campaign. On top of this, any hedge-wizards who study daemonology, necromancy, or Dark or Chaotic magic
gain D6 Insanity Points and one disability each time they learn a spell of this type, due to the lack of training that would give them some
way of resisting the damaging influence of the spells. In addition, the first time they attempt to learn a spell from each of these
disciplines, their alignment will move one step closer to Chaos as a result of the corrupting nature of their work.
Becoming a traditional wizard is possible but difficult for hedge-wizards. Their illiteracy and lack of understanding of the basic skills
needed to study and learn magical texts means that they must swallow their pride and become apprenticed to an academic wizard something most hedge-wizards are too independent-minded to even consider, even if they could find a wizard who would take them on.
There is also the danger that if they reveal their magical abilities to the wrong person, they will be denounced as a witch or a follower of
Chaos and burnt alive.

Battle Magic Wizardry

Wizard
Wizards are the most numerous of the magic-using professions. Many of them make a career of adventuring and use their talents to
recover lost and forgotten magical lore, legendary magical items, and, of course, large sums of money. After completing the level 1
career, a Wizard may choose to specialise in a particular branch of magic (namely Daemonology, Elementalism, Illusionism, or
Necromancy). Many, however, find it more profitable to keep a broad base of spell use and remain as non-specialised Wizards.
Once a character has completed a period as a Wizard's Apprentice, it is assumed that the same Wizard will continue to instruct any
character who wishes to continue in a magical career. The period of additional training necessary to become a level 1 Wizard is 1D3
months. At the end of this time, the character expends 100 EPs and (once the Cast Spells skill has been acquired) may cast any level 1
Battle Magic the Wizard knows.

advances and skills for a Level 3 Wizard and are prepared to swear the appropriate oaths.

in Altdorf before they are allowed to leave as a licensed independent member of the College. They may leave at a time before that, but
must resign their membership of the college, if they do. This means that unless you are running a campaign with a very extended timescale, Amethyst Wizard is probably not a good career for PCs. If a gamesmaster is planning a campaign in which all the PCs start at
the beginning of their fourth career, an Amethyst Wizard may be appropriate. Otherwise, Amethyst Wizards are best kept for use as
NPCs.

Light Wizard
Any Battle Magic Wizard, Illusionist, Elementalist, Hedge-Wizard, or Wizard's Apprentice may enter the Light College as a Light
Acolyte. However, acolytes are strictly regimented and are not allowed out of the college except when accompanied by their master
(usually into battle). The means that Light Acolyte is not usually a suitable career for a player character mage. If the gamesmaster is
running a campaign in which all the player characters are in the fourth career, then a Light Wizard may be viable as a player
character's career. Otherwise, it should be reserved for NPCs.
The first spell learned by any Light Acolyte will always be Channel Energy. There are no specific Light magic spells at Levels 2 and 3.
Level 1, 2, or 3 Light wizards can learn any Battle Magic spell of the relevant level.
Trappings:
White robes, Serpentine staff, A master will have at least 5 acolytes with him who provide extra MPs for him through
the Channel Energy spell

Elementalism
Elementalist
Elementalists are specialist Wizards, whose magic concerns itself with natural forces and the elements of earth, air, fire, and water. As
well as being able to control the forces of nature to some extent, Elementalists have limited control over the four elements and the
beings known as Elementals.
As Wizards of nature, Elementalists have a close affinity with living things and - though reclusive - tend to be kindly and slow to anger.
The magical energies upon which an Elementalist draws are fundamentally opposed to those of Daemonic and Necromantic magic.
Characters who have embarked upon a career as an Elementalist may never become Daemonologists or Necromancers.
Finding a teacher of Elemental magic is not as easy as finding a Wizard, but much easier than finding a Daemonologist or
Necromancer. Many Elementalists are hermitic and live in isolated dwellings close to sources of great natural energy (waterfalls,
oceans, volcanoes, mountain tops, and so on). Characters wishing to learn Elemental magic must convince their would-be teacher of
their sincerity, demonstrating their love of nature in some way. GMs may wish to have the character make a Fel test, modified by -10%
for each level the character has achieved in all other magical fields. If the test is successful, the character will be accepted as a student
and will undergo a training period of 1D4+1 months. At the end of this time, accepted characters should expend 200 EPs and are then
considered 1st level Elementalists, able to cast any Elementalist spells the teacher can teach them.

Illusionism
Illusionist
Illusionists are a sub-group of Wizards, specialising in confusing magics that deceive the senses. Apart from the kind of spells they may
cast, there is little to choose between ordinary Wizards and Illusionists - at least in the minds of the people.
Finding a teacher of Illusionist magic is relatively easy (in comparison to Daemonologist, Elementalists, and Necromancers). However,
it is the nature fo Illusionist magic to deceive and the activities of some less-than-scrupulous Illusionists have produced a general
feeling of unease and mistrust towards them in the populace at large. Accordingly, most Illusionists fall into one of two categories - the
secretive and the open. The former do not advertise their activities and keep themselves very much to themselves. The latter try to
ease the people's fears by always behaving in an exemplary fashion. Thus, characters wishing to become Illusionists will either have to
convince a teacher of their moral rectitude or spend a considerable amount of time and effort (not to mention money) seeking out the
sort of Illusionist who will teach anyone.
Once a teacher has been found, the character must undergo a training period of 1D3+1 months. At the end of this time, the character
expends 200 EPs and is considered a 1st level Illusionist, able to cast any Illusionist spells successfully learned from the teacher.

Demonology
Demonologist
Daemonologists are very rare, specialist Wizards. They are concerned with the power that may be drawn from a multitude of other
worlds or planes - places where all kinds of powerful and horrific beings reside. As well as the spells available to ordinary Wizards,
Daemonologists can call upon a battery of specialist spells, giving them the ability to summon and dispel daemons and even command
them in some circumstances.
Characters wishing to become Daemonologists must be of Evil or Chaotic alignment.
Daemonologists are necessarily lonely, reclusive types. They meet with such fear, loathing, and mistrust that any characters foolish
enough to wish to undertake such a loathesome career will have great difficulty finding a teacher. Daemonologists spend the majority of
their time hiding from Witch-Hunters and Templars. Theirs is a very secretive profession, which spurns contact with the outside world
whenever possible - which is just as well, for Daemonologists do not fit in well in normal society.
Many Daemonologists develop physical disabilities which set them aside from the rest of Humanity. These disabilities identify them as
practitioners of the evil arts and make it difficult for them to move around freely - often they will be hounded from a town or village or
killed by the local populace. Occasionally, Daemonologists will find work with an Evil or Chaotic government official or leader, or they
may find employment in a group of bandits or pirates. But no matter where they are, Daemonologists always live in fear of decent folk
and particularly of the Witch-Hunter.
Penalties: Daemonologists also pay a high price for their magical abilities. In order to learn their art, they must study for a year with an
experienced teacher. At the end of this period, they acquire the ability to cast daemonic magic spells (learned in the usual way) and will
have developed a Disability. At each new level of Daemonologist progression, the character develops a new Disability.
Insanity is an occupational hazard for all Daemonologists. The constant viewing of beings from other planes has a disturbing effect on
Daemonologists' psyche, causing them to pick up psychological disorders. Each increase in level automatically results in a
Daemonologist gaining D6 Insanity Points.

Necromancy
Necromancer
Necromancers are evil Wizards, concerned with the magical power that can be drawn from the world of the dead. Necromancers can
commune with the spirits of the dead and may be able to summon undead creatures to do their bidding. Because of the nature of their
work, Necromancers are shunned by most people, hated and feared even more than Daemonologists. Necromancers are never able to
work openly except in the most decadent or lawless areas of the Old World - parts of Bretonnia and the Badlands. Elsewhere,
Necromancers hide out in ruined villages and towns where the local cemetaries provide them with the raw materials essential to their
disgusting art.
As a profession, Necromancers are invariably Evil or Chaotic; no other character would dare dabble with the souls of the dead. Like
Daemonologists, Necromancers are constantly hounded by Witch-Hunters and most people have a healthy abhorrence of the
Necromancer's art. Necromancers practising their arts openly will be reported to the local authorities.
Disabilities and Disease: Characters following the dark path of Necromancy lose their humanity and - ultimately - their minds. This
process is slow, but inevitable. Sooner or later, characters following this career descend into the depths of depravity, where they can no
longer function effectively as player characters and become NPCs run by the GM.
Necromancers have a tendency to be unhygienic, suffer from physical disabilities of various forms. All gradually develop a cadaverous
appearance. As a result of their researches, Necromancers often contract Tomb Rot. There is an increasing chance of this at each
level. If the character develops the disease and is later cured, he or she may catch it again on reaching the next level.
Necromancers always suffer from Morbidity - a form of insanity peculiar to Necromancers. Sane characters do not spend their time
playing around with dirty and diseased corpses. Morbidity begins as a desire to discover the secret of immortality through the study of
Necromancy, but, as the character reaches higher levels, it degenerates into a mania for studying dead and decaying bodies. Morbid
characters are obsessed with death: they go to great lengths to peer at and examine corpses and delight in being able to turn them into
Zombies or Skeletons.
As Necromancers are secretive, it is very difficult to find one willing to teach characters the forbidden arts of Necromancy. Most
Necromancers suffer from paranoia in some form or another, so they are hardly likely to be willing to discuss their business with
characters who may be Witch-Hunters in disguise. Characters who manage to convince a Necromancer to train them begin a length
apprenticeship - it takes 5-8 months for a character to become attuned to the plane of the dead. During this time, they also become
increasingly Morbid and, at the end of the training, are able to cast any Necromantic spells they have successfully learned from the
teacher.

Religious Magics Clerics

Clerics
Clerics are the priesthood of the Old World, authorised by their churches to conduct services and to minister to the spiritual needs of the
faithful. In order to carry out their duties, Clerics are granted access to the deity by the medium of prayer, as well as a number of
magical powers. These powers come from prayer and devotion to the deity rather than knowledge and force of will, although Clerics are
treated in a similar way to Wizards with regard to levels and spell use.
To become a Cleric, a character must first have fully completed the Initiate Basic Career. Because Clerics depend on their deity for
spells, characters do not progress automatically from Initiate to level 1 Cleric; when the Initiate career has been completed, they must
accumulate the 100 Experience Points necessary to change careers and then go to a temple of the deity and pray for guidance,
exchanging the 100 EPs for one roll on the Cleric Advance Table. The result must be obeyed; failure to do so always results in the
character becoming subject to the deity's anger.
The roll should be modified by the GM according to how well the character has behaved, kept the deity's strictures, and so on.
Characters who have followed exemplary lives according to the beliefs of their religion should be allowed a modifier of +10%;
conversely, those who pay only lip service should be penalised by -10%. You should consider other relvant modifiers when Clerics
attempt to move to another level - for example, a Cleric who has heroically defended a temple against overwhelming odds may receive
a +15% modifier.
The GM is also free to ignore the results of any dice roll - characters who constantly refuse to follow strictures or abuse their religion in
other ways should invoke the Wrath of the Gods automatically, if the player's conduct merits such drastic action. However, this should
be extremely rare, only occasioned by such action as even the gods cannot ignore. Conversely, if a Cleric is consistently "saintly," he or
she may be awarded a Blessing - bearing in mind that this should be just as rare.
When a Cleric completes a level, the same procedure is used; the character seeks guidance at a temple and exchanges 100 EPs per
level for a roll on the Clerical Advance Table. Again, the GM should modify the roll according to the character's behaviour.
Once a Cleric has completed the level 4 Cleric career, another roll is made on the Cleric Advance Table. The result must be obeyed as
usual, except that instead of moving on to another level, the character may take any of the listed Career Exits, without losing any spell
use. Players who reach this exalted height must remember, however, that their characters are still Clerics; the change in career in no
way affects the commitment which the deity expects of them.

Religious Magics Druidic Priests

Druidic Priests (Humans Only)
Druidic Priests are followers of The Old Faith, a religion whose origins stretch back to the time before written history. They have strong
associations with many ancient sites, such as barrows and stone circles, whose significance has long been forgotten by others.
To become Druidic Priests, characters must first have fully completed the Druid Basic Career. Because Druidic Priests depend on their
deity for spells, characters do not progress automatically from Druid to level 1 Druidic Priest; when the Druid career has been fully
completed, the character must accumulate the 100 Experience Points necessary to change careers and then appeal to the deity. The
character goes to a sacred grove and prays for guidance, exchanging the 100 EPs for one roll on the Druid Advance Table. Only
Humans may become Druidic Priests.
Druidic Priests, as their name implies, form the priesthood of the Old Faith and players of Druid characters should be familiar with the
information contained in that section. In many ways, they are similar to Clerics, as they advance through four levels of power and gain
certain magical abilities by following a strict code of life. They tend to be reclusive and sometimes live as hermits in the depths of the
forests. Some Druidic Priests tend the sacred groves which serve the Old Faith as temples and shrines, while others travel through the
countryside, furthering the interests of their faith as they see fit and protecting the natural world as well as they are able.
Only Humans may become Druidic Priests.

Dwarf Runic Magicks

Dwarf Runesmith (Dwarfs Only)
A Runesmith is a Dwarf who knows the secrets of inscribing weapons and other items with the secret Dwarf runes of his ancestors.
This knowledge is almost never written down, but is passed from master to apprentice by word of mouth. Some Runesmiths never find
a suitable apprentice and let their knowledge die with them. Most Runesmiths are over a hundred years old.
As Runesmiths advance in their calling, they garner greater skill in their craft and greater respect from their fellow Dwarfs. Middleranking Runesmiths are known as Master Runesmiths and the highest and most venerable, of which there are very few in the Old
World, are dignified with the title Rune Lord.
In human lands, such as The Empire, Runesmiths are less respected outside their own community, since few humans can tell a
Runesmith from an ordinary smith. Rune Lords in particular find this lack of recognition galling; asking a Rune Lord to shoe one's horse
is a risky proposition, at best, and, at worst, can be fatal.

Rune Master
Any Wizard or Alchemist of sufficient learning has the potential to become a Rune Master and may enter the career simply by finding a
Rune Master willing to teach them the skills. Wizards or Alchemists must complete their present career before going on to be a Rune
Master.
A Rune Master will usually study with a master for several years, learning not only the runes but the craft skills necessary to make the
rune items in question. Rune Masters will find it valuable to have a copy of The Book of Runic Mastery, but it is not possible to learn the
career from the book; the student will require a full-time teacher.
When characters join the Rune Master career, their career exits remain unchanged, reflecting their profession and level on entry. The
only difference is that they may also choose to become an Artisan.
Trappings:
Small Anvil, Smithing and Engraving Tools
Career Entry:
Alchemist Level 3 or above, Wizard Level 1 or above
Career Exits:

Wood Elf Magicks

Wood Elf Mage (Wood Elves Only)
Wood Elf mages specialise in the Tree Songs, spells that deal with the growing things of the natural world, particularly trees and plants.
Their spells bear some affinity with those of elementalists or druids, but their knowledge of the magic of the trees is much greater than
either of these. Wood Elf mages spend most of their time in the deep forest, well away from the so-called civilisation of humans. Those
few who do venture into the lands of men tend to dislike cities and stay in the wilderness as much as possible. For the purposes of
spellcasting, Tree Songs are treated as being rituals, although they require only six rounds, rather than 10 minutes, to cast.
Note that Wood Elf mages can learn normal Battle Magic and Petty Magic as well as the Tree Songs and some rare individuals even
have access to High Magic. They cannot, however, learn Colour magic at the Imperial Colleges; Teclis' simplifications, made for the
benefit of humans, are just too alien to their way of thinking. While this may seem to make Wood Elf mages more powerful than normal
wizards, gamesmasters and players should bear in mind that Wood Elf mages are more difficult to find than human wizards and that
human wizards are unlikely to teach a Wood Elf mage spells. Thus, while the range of spells that can be learnt by Wood Elf mages is
greater, the chances for them to do so are fewer. In addition, Wood Elf mages are automatically considered to be specialist wizards and
thus pay double the normal cost for career advancement.
Note that once a character has completed the Level 4 career, it is possible for them to add High Elf Mage - Level 4 to their Career Exits.
However, to follow this path, they will need to find another Wood Elf who has achieved this level in their career, persuade them to take
them on as an apprentice, and pay 1,000 EPs to enter the career. Note that their Career Exits will not change if they follow this path,
but will remain as described here - they are not subsequently eligible to follow the exits normally available to a level 4 High Elf mage.
Special Psychology Rules: Wood Elf Mages have a special affinity with and deep respect for Treemen and have a +20 to Fel tests
when dealing with them.

High Elf Magicks

High Elf Mage (High Elves Only)
High Elves are the pioneers of magic in the Warhammer world. In fact, their wizards, or mages, are unrivalled in their magical ability.
The prime location of magical knowledge in the world lies in the mystical land of Ulthuan in the region of Saphery. Here, in ancient
times, the legendary Tower of Hoeth, the shrine of the God of Wisdom, was erected. The Tower is a remarkable feat of construction,
rising high above the forest. The bone-white structure is almost half a mile high, a feat of engineering made possible only by powerful
magic. This is the location for elven mages and scholars to study from the vast multitude of books, grimoires and tomes stored in the
libraries of the Tower.
In order to study magic, all aspiring High Elves will travel to the Tower of Hoeth. There they have to impress the Loremasters of Hoeth,
as they have the final say in who should study magic in the Tower. Those who lust for power for power's sake are never seen again
whilst those who want to study hard to gain wisdom are rewarded, in time.
