The Old World - Warriors & Heroes - Complete Online Rule Book
Player Winds of Magic (WoM) = Spirit Score + 1D20
​
The available winds of magic are rolled at the beginning of each session. Players can augment the available winds by using Arcane Conduit. Allies share the total winds. Having more than one caster will increase the available winds, as each can roll and add their spirt score. Enemy units will have a separate pool for their winds of magic. Some enemies will be capable of reducing the available winds for other players.
​
The Winds of Magic are fickle and dangerous. The following are rules that illustrate the dangers and the benefits of casting spells. This will include using magic, becoming a wizard, and using the winds themselves. These skills work the same as any other level skills in the core rules.
Players are bound to learn a single lore until they have mastered all spells in the lore. However, common spells may be used by any player with required skills.
Learning a new lore counts as using an ability point from a level up. This requires arcane mastery by default so a player can’t expand their lore knowledge until one lore is fully understood. This must be done twice to unlock advanced spells in the new lore.
Players may also occasionally find arcane tomes. These Tomes can instantly teach a wizard any single spell of their choosing.
Casting Spells
The Winds of Magic are powerful but dangerous. Each time you dabble with the realm of chaos to call on its power, you risk suffering yourself. This is represented by something called Miscast.
When casting a spell, you must roll a Miscast die first. The spell will determine the target value. Simple spells will have little chance of going wrong, while high-power spells may risk the very life of the caster. Should a spell be miscast, they will suffer direct damage. This will be automatic on failure.
​
The Miscast die will always be aimed low. So in a miscast of D8 = 7+, the player would only miscast on a 7+. Rolling a 6 or lower means the spell was cast without miscasting. These schools require a significant investment of both time and knowledge gathering. Most humans do not live long enough to become masters of more than one school. Only genuinely great masters of the arts can learn multiple schools of magic. None the less, many players may aspire to become great masters in their lifetime. All spells are active abilities and can be disabled by fear.
Lore Limitation
Players will have access to different lores of magic. These lores are limited due to the amount of study they require. For a player to learn a new lore they must first learn Arcane Attunement. They may then pick one lore in which to learn basic spells. Learning this lore will unlock the use of those basic spells. To gain access to advanced spells the player can learn the ability Arcane Mastery. To expand into another school, the player must take a second rank of Arcane attunement, for basic spells in the new lore and Arcane Mastery to learn the advanced spells in that new lore. There is also Arcane Conduit, a neutral spell unlocked by Arcane Mastery.
Some spells have a constant effect. In these cases, the spell cost will have an initial cost with a duration value listed as Drain. This means the spell will continue to drain WoM as long as it is in effect. When WoM reaches zero the spell will end. The Caster can choose to discontinue the spell at any time.

Lore of Vampires (Forbidden)
​
Wizard’s staffs start as any basic staff weapon. Any looted weapon that is a staff qualifies to be used as a wizard weapon. However, if the player wishes to make this staff a unique item for a wizard they may attempt to attune the wizard with this staff.
To attune the wizard with the staff the player character must have Arcane Attunement ability. The player will then roll a number of dice rolls to complete this step. The rolls will determine the bonuses the staff is imbued with. These are separate from any rune abilities the item may already have.
Using the table below roll a D20 for each row in succession top to bottom. Hitting the target number will give the stage bonus. It’s possible to achieve all bonuses with good enough rolls.
​
Once these rolls are complete the process is permanent. The attunement cannot be altered. This means that a well-attuned staff can significantly change their value to the player.
Should the rolls all fail, the staff will be attuned with no bonus. This does not mean the staff can be attuned later. It is considered a bad attunement but is permanent.
