The Winds of Magic
Not all Magicians have their own internal source of power. Instead, some are able to channel the ethereal winds of magic that emanate from the chaos portal to the north and blow throughout the Old World through their bodies and manipulate them into useful spells. Each of the eight winds has its own colour and its own properties. Some lend themselves to offensives spells while others are more subtle. Most humans who have this ability are able to channel one of the eight winds and spend most of their lives trying to master their particular flavour of magic. Light Wizards are the exception in that their form of magic is a combination of the four light elemental winds, although they are unable to separate them into their constituent parts.Eight colleges were set up in the Empire's capital city of Altdorf, one for each of the seven winds that blow strongly across the Empire and one for the practitioners of Light magic in order to maximise the potential of these powerful and often dangerous Magicians. Although they are capable of casting extremely potent spells, are adept at dispelling enemy spells and are more suited to hand to hand combat than most other Magicians, there is a price. Having to rely on an external force of energy means their spell casting abilities are at the mercy of the strength of the winds of magic at that particular moment. Their less powerful spells however require less energy to cast.
Another drawback to this method of spell casting is that because the spells are redirected energy from an external source rather than powered my the Magicians themselves, their spells tend to be easily dispelled. While spells from self-powering Magicians normally require another Magician with a particular spell in order to be countered, anyone can potentially dispel magic from a Magician who utilises the winds of magic to power their spells, although being a powerful Magician definitely helps.
College Wizard
M6 (lowest two of three dice), BP5, MP5, L1M. Four spells from the appropriate college, any of which can be exchanged once and at the same time for random replacements. Power cards are needed to cast spells, you cast spells without using your standard attacking action and there's no limit to the amount of spells you can cast as long as you can power them. Spells aren't discarded when cast but each spell can only be cast once per turn. Spells are kept hidden from the EWP until they're cast, Magic Aura gives two defence dice as standard, you need one free hand to cast and can use items that the wizard can use except that they can use one handed swords but you can never ware actual armour. College Scrolls can be used by non-college Magicians but College Magicians can only use College Scrolls from their own college. College Scrolls require no power to cast and are discarded after they're used.
Veteran: Level 2 Magician, five spells.
Master: Level 3 Magician, seven spells, 6MP.
Legend: Level 4 Magician, all ten spells, 6BP.
Dispel Magic Scroll: 25gp. College Wizards only. Can be used as soon as an enemy in sight or in the same room or corridor attempts to cast a spell, automatically cancelling it. A Character who has their casting attempt dispelled can still use their attacking action and can use it to cast a different spell.
Destroy Magic Scroll: 50gp. College Wizards only. Can be used as soon as an enemy in sight or in the same room or corridor attempts to cast a spell, automatically dispelling it. The caster and the scroll user each roll 1D6 and add their magic levels, if the scroll user scores higher than the caster the spell is discarded. Monsters that start with one or two spells have a magic level of zero, otherwise they have one magic level for every three spells that they start with. A Character who has their casting attempt dispelled or their spell destroyed can still use their attacking action and can use it to cast a different spell.
Magic Cards
The college wizard player rolls 2D6 at the start of each Quest and deals that number magic cards in total, dealt alternately to the college wizard and the EWP starting with the college wizard. The college wizard player rolls one combat dice at the start of each of their turns, on a black shield the winds die down, all magic cards held by the college wizard and EWP except for retaiable ones are discarded, on a white shield a new gust of magical energy blows away the old, same thing as a black shield but roll 2D6 afterwards and deal that number of magic cards in total, dealt alternately to the college wizard and the EWP starting with the college wizard.
Power
Power cards are used to cast spells. Each spell has a power level from one to three, indicating how many power cards need to be played for the spell to be cast.
Dispel
Can be used by the college wizard on an EWP spell or by any Monster on a college wizard spell. They must be in sight or in the same room or corridor as the caster. A Character can make one dispel attempt for every spell cast. The player attempting the dispel rolls 1D6, if the caster has the same magic level as the Character attempting the dispel then the dispel is successful on a roll of 4-6, if the caster has a lower magic level than the Character attempting the dispel then the dispel is successful on a roll of 3-6 and if the caster has a higher magic level than the Character attempting the dispel then the dispel is successful on a roll of 5-6. Level zero counts as higher than having no magic level. Monsters that start with one or two spells have a magic level of zero, otherwise they have one magic level for every three spells that they start with. A spell already in play is dispelled on a 4-6. A Character who has their casting attempt dispelled can still use their attacking action and can use it to cast a different spell.
Destroy Spell
Can be used by the college wizard on an EWP spell or by any Monster Magician on a college wizard spell. They must be in sight or in the same room or corridor as the caster. The spell is automatically dispelled. The college wizard player then decides how many standard power cards from those available they wish to use. Both players then roll 1D6, the EWP adds the number of standard power cards they have and the college wizard player adds the number of power card they chose, if the caster doesn't score highest then the spell is discarded. A Character who has their casting attempt dispelled or their spell destroyed can still use their attacking action and can use it to cast a different spell. This card can be kept for future turns.
Rebound
Can be used by the college wizard on an EWP spell or by any Monster Magician on a college wizard spell. The spell must potentially effect the Magician. The spell is automatically rebounded back at the caster if the caster is in sight and in the same room, otherwise it's rebounded 4D6 squares in a straight line (including diagonally) on the line closest to the caster (decide randomly if there's two lines the same distance either side of the caster) and will move through walls and other obstacles, hitting the first Character in its path (and other Characters if that's how the spell works). This card can be kept for future turns.
Escape
Can be used by the college wizard player at any time, including when the college wizard has just lost all of their BP. The college wizard teleports to another plane and has 1BP healed. At the start of their future turns they return to the room or corridor they escaped from on the roll of a white shield on one combat dice. This card can be kept for future turns, including by the EWP to prevent the college player from getting it.
Mental Duel
Can be used by the college wizard on a Monster Magician or a Monster Magician on the college wizard during their turn and without using an action. The college wizard player and EWP both roll 1D6 and add their magic levels. Monsters that start with one or two spells have a magic level of zero, otherwise they have one magic level for every three spells that they start with. If one Magician scores higher than the other then they choose a spell from the loosing Magician to discard. If the enemy Magician has any hidden spells they can force the Magician to discard a random spell (including any known ones) or they can name a spell that they think the Magician might have, but if they don't have it then they don't lose a spell.
Drain Magic
Can be used by the college wizard or a Monster Magician during their turn and without using an action but they can't cast any more spells during that Character's turn. All magic cards held by the college wizard and EWP are discarded including retainable ones and all college spells and EWP spells in play are ended.
Total Power
Can be used by the college wizard or EWP player to power any spell. The spell can't be stopped by the college wizard or a Monster but it can still be redirected.
20 Power cards.
8 Dispel cards.
1 Destroy Magic card.
1 Rebound card.
1 Escape card.
1 Mental Duel card.
1 Drain Magic card.
1 Total Power card.
Simplified Alternative
College wizards can only cast once per turn and discard their spells after casting them like a conventional HQ magician but the can still cast without using an action. Roll a combat dice for the strength of the winds of magic on a turn that you want to cast a spell, skull = only power level 1 spells available, white shield = equals level 1 and level two spells available, black shield = all spells available.
Using these rules, the Celestial Wizard's unique ability is replaced with the ability to cast power level 2 spells on a skull and the Light Wizard's is replaced with the ability to cast power level 3 spells on a white shield.

Along with the gold college, theirs is a magic closely attuned to the earth, and they are often known as shamans. While comparisons may be drawn between them and the druids of the Jade College, they are more concerned with the raw strength of beasts rather than the more general forces of nature. Their spells allow them to commune with nature or even to take on the form of a beast.

Lore: The Lore of The Heavens.
Wizards of the Celestial College are known as seers and astrologers, foretelling the future by watching the stars and the subtle alterations in their apparent positions caused by the warping effects of the unseen winds of magic.

Amethyst College
Wind of Magic: Purple, Dark Fire.
Symbol: Shyish, The Scythe of Death.

Wizards of the Amethyst College are a secretive group, rarely speaking but rather communicating with each other by means of telepathy.

Lore: The Lore of Life.
Wizards of the Jade College are also known as druids, nature wizards who live in the forests and practice powerful rituals amongst circles of ancient menhirs inscribed with arcane runes. Their life-forces become inextricably entwined with that of the earth, such that they religiously go barefoot or with only sandals upon their feet at the most so that they may remain in contact with the life-giving soil. Every winter their spells ebb in power, whereas in springtime their bodies are renewed in vigor. Their spells deal with the raw forces of life and decay and as Jade Wizards are so in tune with nature, their spells tend to require little power to cast.
Jade Wizard: M6 (lowest two of three dice) A2 D3 BP5 MP5 L1M Sickle (classed as EU shortsword), Cloak Of Protection. You can heal up to 5BP of your own or a directly adjacent target once per Quest and this isn't classed as casting a spell.
Ice Magic
Winds of Magic: Cyan, Dark Water.
Symbol: Sharp Snow Flake.
Lore: The Lore of Ice.
The Frost Wizards have no official college in Kislev. The cyan wind blows so strongly over that region that any magically inclined individuals can readily make use of the destructive power of the ice wind. The cyan/ice wind of magic doesn't blow strongly enough across the Empire however for it to be learnt it's inhabitants, but this doesn't prevent an already skilled Frost Wizard from utilising their power in warming climates. Instead Ice Magic is practised by those in the colder regions north of the Empire, especially Kislev. The Empire and Kislev are firm allies and it isn't unusual for them to send reinforcements to aid each other, including Frost Wizards.
Frost Wizard: M6 (lowest two of three dice) A3 D2 BP5 MP5 L1M Broadsword. Standard melee attacks are ice based.
