LORE·WHITE DWARF 524

Spelltomes and Sorcerous Duels

May 2026·pp. 6–7

THE SHORT VERSION

Practised battle spells can become instinctive, while grimoires preserve complex invocations and help a wizard prepare unfamiliar magic in advance. The Colleges also stage dangerous contests suited to their disciplines: Bright College apprentices endure fiery trials in the Crucible, whereas Grey Wizards seek victory through illusions that can imprison an unwary mind. A short scene illustrates the lesson as Blissa abandons a failing shield, sidesteps a sorcerer’s attack and kills him with conjured fire-serpents.
