Sorry boo. Th e only negative thing I can see is your eyes.  Look more closely at the card. The alter has two warriors fighting and 4 legs total.  Awesome warlord only card.
Jedi vs that orc guy from L of the R, wow what a mix,... i wonder if AW would consider Dhalsim a mage.

Actually it is a War Mage Only card.

So any mage who is trained in the war school at level 2 or more can slot this in their book ;)

Where do i find this (very interesting) information?



My rulebook says:

Training
Your Mage is trained in one or more schools of magic. These
are the spells that are easiest for your Mage to learn. If you
add a spell from a trained school into your spellbook, you
must spend spell points equal to the Level of the spell.
If you add a spell from a school your Mage is not trained
in, you must spend Spell Points equal to twice the Level of
the spell.


Spell TraitsT hat Affect Your Spellbook
School of Magic Only: Some spells can only be cast by a
Mage that is trained in a specific school of magic. You may
only include these spells if the Mage you are playing has the
proper training. For example, the Temple of Asyra says Holy
Mage Only, so only Mages trained in Holy magic, like the
Priestess, can use this spell.

Im not sure if it was ever made official, but he's referring to something that came up in Necro vs Druid.

The conversation was that Druid introduced the concept of only being trained in "Water Level 1"
So, if there was a Spell that was Water Mage Only, a Druid would only qualify if said spell was level 1.   Because she isn't trained above that, a "Water Mage Only" spell of level 2 or higher wouldn't be useable by her.

Im not sure if it made it into the codex or FAQ though since there is no mage or spell that makes it a relevant detail.

So, if there was a hypothetical mage who was only trained in Dark Level 1, he wouldn't be able to use Sectarus or Demonhide Armor because those are level 2 and 3 spells and he technically trained in them.

Laddenfance would have to confirm or deny if that actually went official though, as I don't remember if it was mentioned in the DvN Codex or FAQ.

In Druid vs Necro, where we introduced a mage trained in level 1 water spells. Because of this, in the rules for Druid vs Necro it explains how a limited training like that works. One of the restrictions is you can only use "mage only" cards if you are trained in the school of the spell and up to the appropriate level.

Now currently, that only applies to the druid. Every other mage is trained in entire schools. However, in the future their could be more mages with limited training like the Druid.

@boo,

When you see it in High_Res it looks great. I would say it looks very much like a Gold swing in his leg and feet placement. I have to say the art on this release is "fan fraking tastic"!

Ah. Thought Akiro was the barbarian looking one and Bellica the other.

Bellicar is the very "odin-ish" one and Akiro is the very "Thor-ish" lookin' one.
