Spells and Wards

Spells #

Spells as written in Flagrant Factions are unavailable. Instead, use the following conversion guide. Where there isn’t specific guidance, use the spells as written in Wolves Upon the Coast or use your judgement.

Unless otherwise specified, activating to cast a spell requires a 6+ and the range is 12”. If they succeed, the spell takes effect immediately. If they fail, the enemy seizes initiative and the spell takes effect when the caster’s side regains initiative.

The caster still needs to achieve the effect by the means described in Wolves Upon the Coast Book 2 - Magic.
