During the years of playtesting and development, a large portion of our games were played multiplier, and most of those were Team-Ups.  We just love a good two-on-two.  The game plays marvelously well that way, and without requiring a special board or extra space.
Official rules for multiplayer, including 2 vs 2, will be coming out with Mage Wars Battlegrounds, slated for later this year. We are working on spells specifically designed to help your partner and hinder another team. 
Please share any thoughts you might have!  :-)

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the confusion here!  I have got to be more careful when I answer a post, so that I use the most precise language possible!  This mix-up is my fault, because of a poor choice of words I used.

Assuming I understand the question correctly:  Is an attack spell an attack? Answer:  No.  It is a spell, the resolution of which provides an attack.

An attack spell starts out as a spell, like any other spell.  It has a Cast Spell Step and a Counter Spell Step.  When (and if) it gets to the Resolve Spell Step an attack begins. 

This attack is like any other attack, except a few pieces of information have already been decided for the "Declare Attack Step". For example, when you cast the spell, you have already checked range and LoS, declared targets, made yourself the source for the attack, and paid some costs.

I hope this helps.

Bryan

Thanks Homeless Joe!

Creature-wise, the Druid has the following creatures which could be "turned"; Vine Snapper, Tataree, Thornlasher, Togorah, and Raptor Vine.  Kralathor is Epic, and cannot be turned into a zombie, else he would be a great choice.

Your idea of using the Warlock is very good - all plants have a weakness against Flame and he has a nice advantage in that respect.  However, she has a number of ways to deal with Burn - including Renewing Rain and Mohktari's Branch.  We've done a lot of tests against a Warlock build.  Despite her flame weakness - she is very hard to "finish off".  Her Lifebond trait (which is acquired when she uses her Treebond ability), combined with the tree's natural regeneration ability, and her own, makes her an extremely difficult foe to finish off.  In playtesting I found myself playing against her a lot just to see how in the world do you take her out!

Ha!  You are welcome.  Thanks for the support and enthusiasm!   

Our apologies for any confusion. 

Tainted: Removing Tainted is not affected by Finite Life. It is not considered healing (even though removing the poison has the effect of removing 3 damage).

Bleed:  You can remove Bleed by converting one point of healing to remove the Bleed.  If there is no healing, then you have nothing to convert.  Therefore, Finite Life does affect Bleed in this manner.

We have added these notes to the Kumanjaro rulebook for its final printing.

BaronZaltor got this one right.

A Damage Barrier attack is not considered a creature attack. Its is its own source. It does not benefit from any traits on the attacking creature, and continues to function even if that creature is incapacitated.

Hello isel,

Unfortunately there is no such rule at this time.  

However, you inspired us! We are looking for abilities for our new alternate Wizard, and I will add this to the her list of abilities we are testing. It will allow her to transport her owl or raven familiair with her when she teleports.

Yes!
