I want to make sure that I understand how the teleport ability of a Grey Wraith works. My questions are intermingled with my musings, below, and are in red.

The card says:

"Instead of taking a move action, Grey Wraith may pay 1 mana to teleport into an adjacent zone."

The rules (under Actions / Movement) say:

"During its Action Phase, a creature can move. If it moves, it must finish all movement before it takes any other action. A creature cannot take any other kind of action and then move.

"When a creature takes a move action it moves one zone into any adjacent zone....

"As a quick action, a creature can choose to move a second zone...."

The way I am reading this is that the teleport is the only movement that the creature can undertake on its own in the action phase if it chooses to do that instead of taking a move action. It seems, for example, that the Grey Wraith could not then move into a second zone (via a move action or a second self-teleport) because it would have to have the option to move in either case. I do not believe that option exists as a creature may not take a move action after doing anything else (presumably such as teleporting in lieu of a move action). Is this correct?

I also believe that the Grey Wraith could not take a move action to move one zone and then activate the teleport ability, since the second zone of movement that most creatures can take normally is not (from the way I read the rules) a separate move action from the one taken to enter the first adjacent zone (it is just a quick action). Correct?

Does the teleport leave the Grey Wraith a quick action (as if it had moved normally into the adjacent zone, if such were permissible), or does the creature use its entire action to teleport? I presume that it is able to make use of its quick attack after teleporting, but I just wanted to make sure.

My understanding of the differences between the Blue Gremlin's teleport ability and that of the Grey Wraith is that 1) The Blue Gremlin could teleport a second time with no additional expenditure of mana if it does not begin in or move into a zone where it is/becomes hindered, whereas the Grey Wraith can only move one zone and then must stop regardless (much like Climbing); and 2) The Blue Gremlin could be unable to teleport if it is restrained but the incorporeal nature of the Grey Wraith prevents this. Is this accurate?

Is it a good tactic now that corrode is out there, and is it even legal to do the following:

Cast an armor on your mage one turn, wait until you get corroded by an enemy attack, then replace armor with another armor (even the same type since the original goes back in the book?) so that the original corrode penalty goes away.

Is that how it works? You effectively have to drop your armor before putting on the new armor, so the corrode does go away, yes?

Can someone confirm that replacing one armor with another of the same kind is legal? My thinking is that the mage isn't wearing both at the same time, so....

Thanks!

I got to face a Necromancer (skeleton build) recently. While I am not a very good player, I have to say that I got destroyed a lot more quickly in that battle than I usually do. I damaged his creatures with mine, but he kept reconstructing them and bringing out more from spawnpoints.

My question is: Which spells could I include for various mages that would help against unliving creatures?

I'm also looking for a good overall strategy to use (meaning aggressive, etc.) against typical Necromancer play.

I see, for example, that light-based attack spells are good against non-living creatures... but I usually don't have any of those since I don't have a Priest/Priestess spellbook prepared, and since they don't do a lot of damage against living creatures. I usually play Beastmaster (original) or Air Wizard (and have been trying to play the Warlord as well).

What can I do without switching to Priest/Priestess?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I didn't see these mentioned in the General FAQ, and I didn't pull up anything that seemed to help when I searched for the cards, so I thought I would ask here. Please forgive if these have been asked already.

1) Should Mohktari be Zone Exclusive?

2) Does an opponent pay two or four additional mana if I have two copies of Enchanter's Wardstone in play? I ask because there is no "+" sign in the text, and it only says that you would pay two mana (rather than two additional mana).

3) If an opposing Mage casts a spell like Purge Magic that will get rid of multiple enchantments, must he first pay two mana per enchantment, or only two mana total if the friendly Mage has an Enchanger's Wardstone out?

Thanks!

My understanding is that a "controller" is one of the players. I am trying to figure out whether the Charm card prevents attacks against the mage only (being an extension of the player), or against all of that player's cards in play, or against something else (for example, attacks against conjurations are ok whereas attacks against mage and creatures are not).

Any thoughts? The way I interpret it, this means that no card controlled by the charming mage can be attacked... but I am a new player, so I can't be certain.

Is the Priestess ability to remove conditions considered "Holy"? All it says is that it is a quick spell. I would have thought that it would be Holy because of what it does and who casts it. Along the same lines... would the spell be an incantation? We figured that it was just a generic ability, and did not count it as either tonight, but it makes a difference when you consider her ability to gain a life point and reduce mana spent using her ring. Thanks!
