Tsunami                Hydro Water L3

ranged zone water 3 dice d12 5+ Push  Extinguish, Unavoidable

"When Tsunami is cast, choose a direction, After the attack resolves, repeat the attack one zone farther away in the chosen direction. This continues until there are no farther zones. Flying creatures are immune to Tsunami."

How does this interface with passage attacks on walls? Also what is the range of this spell?

If you're asking if you have to pay extra mana to push through passage attack, no you do not.

Tsunami is Range 0-1 and every push must be away from the caster.  If there's a wall in the way you push them through it in much the same manner as Jet Stream or Surging Wave.

That's fair, also this is a similar push to Force Push, the caster choose direction, just as there ar emultiple pushes a single direction is chosen.

Just to clarify- you can choose any direction you want for any creature if the spell is in the same zone as the caster, but when it is one or more zones away from the caster the creature must be pushed away from the caster. It's important to note the zone that the caster is in may change in the middle of the spell and thus change your options on where you push creatures (but you cannot change where the spell tsunami is going).

Does the Tsunami attack walls that it passes through as it moves along its path of zones?

Was it meant like that or just something that was overlooked?  :P tsunami's in general go in one direction. Sounds like something that could be clarified in the FAQ.

This was not overlooked. In the PVS Rulebook there is an entry specifically for Tsunami.

You never actually turn the Tsunami, but you can push things out of the Tsunami as long as you push away from the caster.  This is a function of the Push mechanic, not the Tsunami.

Haha, glad to hear its not a mistake. I'll have to wait until it is available in stores here before I can read that then.  ;)
