SPELLS
Spell casting
Q: Can a spellcaster cast spells and attack in the same turn?
A: Yes. (GWUK)
Definition of 'on the board'
Q: What does 'on the board' mean?
A: The spell may have an effect anywhere in the dungeon explored so
far, ie on any visible board section. (GWUK)
Wizard spells
Fireball
Q: In the description of the spell Fireball, it states that it affects
'All Monsters on a 2 square by 2 square area...' Does this mean that Warriors
are immune to the effects of the Fireball should the area of effect cover
one or more of them?
A: The Fireball causes damage to all models in its area of effect,
Monsters and Warriors alike. (GWUK)
Q: Does the whole 2 x 2 square area of effect have to be in the Wizard's
line of sight or only part of it?
A: All four squares must be within the Wizard's line of sight. (GWUK)
Q: Can the 2 x 2 square area of effect overlap a section of wall?
A: Yes, the fireball may overlap a wall section. (GWUK)
For example if the Wizard is standing in a passage and is being attacked
by two goblins adjacent to him:
| - |

He may cast the fireball on the adjacent Goblins thus:

Life Force
Q: When casting the spell 'Life Force,' do wounds count for healing that
have been ignored by a Monster with the special ability 'Ignore Pain?'
A: Wounds counteracted with 'Ignore Pain' may be used for healing.
(GWUK)
Zone of Silence
Q: Does the spell 'Zone of Silence' prevent spellcasting in its area of
effect?
A: It seems safe to assume it does not as it is not stipulated in the
spell description. In fact the spell would be a bit to powerful if this
was the case when, in theory, for a mere two power points the Wizard could
completely prevent monsters from casting spells. This spell would seem
to fall in the same category as the spell Tongues, that is, largely suited
for roleplay.
Elf Ranger spells
Fury of Indraugnir
Q: Are the wounds caused by the spell 'Fury of Indraugnir' modified?
A: They are modified for toughness and armour. (GWUK)
Light Power
Q: The spell description says that 'Light Power' may only be cast '...once
per dungeon' - what does this mean?
A: The Spell may be cast once per whole dungeon or deep - this is at
the GM's discretion. (GWUK)
Shield of Tor Alessi
Q: The Elf Ranger spell 'Shield of Tor Alessi' gives a number that the
Monsters' need to roll to hit the Warriors. Do they need to score this
number and then roll to hit, does this mean that at the very least
they will need this number to hit?
A: This is the number the Monsters need to hit unless they would normally
need to roll a higher number. (GWUK)
Sword Guard of Hoeth
Q: What is the duration for the Elf Ranger spell 'Sword Guard of Hoeth'?
A: The rest of the turn. (GWUK)
