 How to use the document
In this document, all Paths of Magic of Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age are described. Each Path consists of a number of spells.
What spells a Wizard knows are usually randomized before the game, using the rules given under Generate Spells in the
rulebook. Each of your Wizards must choose an available Path of Magic to generate spells from; this choice must be written
down in your Army List. All spells are divided into the following three categories:

1-6 0
Learned Spells Learned Spell 0
Learned Spells are Spells that are labeled by a number, Learned spells labelled as number 0 are a special type of a
between 1 and 6. These spells have no additional effects Learned Spell for which a Wizard may exchange one of its

independently. Instead, if the caster wishes, the caster
may cast the Attribute Spell automatically each time it
successfully casts a non-Attribute Spell from the same
Path, after the Spell effect has been resolved. Attributes
cannot be dispelled.

All spells are defined by the following 6 properties:

Spell Name Range Casting Value

Use the spell name to state A spell's Range determines the The Casting Value is the minimum value you

casting Wizard and the target. Spells may have different Casting Values
available (see Boosted Spells).

Type Duration Effect

A spell's Type describes how
the spell's targets have to be
chosen. See rulebook for a
description of spell Types.
A spell's Duration determines
how long the effects of the spell
are applied. See rulebook for a
description of spell Duration.
The Effect of a spell defines what happens to
the target of the spell when the spell is
successfully cast. Spell Effects are never
affected by special rules, Magical Items, other
spells Effects or similar abilities granting the
spellcasting model some
benefit, unless noted otherwise.

Boosted Spells
Some spells have more than one Casting Value, the higher Casting Values being called the 'boosted' versions of the spell.
Boosted versions may have their Range and/or target restrictions modified (for example giving the spell a longer Range),
or the effects of the spell may change. Declare if you are trying to cast a Boosted version (and which one, if the spell has
more than one) before rolling any dice. If no declaration is made, the lowest available Casting Value for the chosen target is
assumed to be used.

Which parts of the spell (Type, Effects, etc) change when cast as the boosted version and which parts stay the same are
marked by using colour coding; red text shows the non-boosted version and blue [bold in square brackets] text shows
the boosted version. In some rare cases a second boosted version or alternative way of casting is is also available, which is
shown in green {bold in curly brackets}.

 Cosmos Cosmology Chaos

Duality: All Cosmology spells are divided into two versions; Cosmos and Chaos. When Casting Cosmology spells, always
declare which version of the spell you are using.
Whenever a spell from Cosmology is successfully cast and caster had no Cosmology counter, it gains a counter matching
that version; a Cosmos counter for Cosmos version, or a Chaos counter for Chaos version.
Non-Bound Spells from Cosmology have {their Casting Values reduced by 2} when cast by a Caster with a Cosmology
counter matching the version of the Spell that is cast (i.e. Cosmos versions of spells have reduced casting values for
casters with a Cosmos counter, and vice versa for Chaos). When a Caster attempts to cast a Cosmology spell of a version
not matching its counter, it immediately loses its Cosmology counters.
At the end of each of your Magic Phases, replace all your Cosmos counters with Chaos counters, and all Chaos counters
with Cosmos counters.
