Targets possessing Magic Immunity or Righteousness will be completely unaffected by the Fireball, and will never suffer any damage from it. A unit that has already spent all of its Movement Points cannot use Fireball Spell until the next turn.
The low strength, however, means that the spell will do little if any damage to any decent Single-Figure unit, and will likely be less powerful than the Magicians' Magical Ranged Attack.Īctivating a unit's Fireball Spell ability costs it all of its remaining Movement Allowance for this turn. Despite being weak in strength, it has a good chance of killing a few lightly-armored Figures. "Unblocked" hits are translated into Damage Points (no figure can be hit for more damage than it has HP), and applied to the unit as a whole.ĭue to striking each Figure independently, the Fireball spell is much stronger against Multi-Figure units than it is against Single-Figure units. As with all Area Damage attacks, this means that the game makes 5 To Hit rolls against each individual Figure within the target unit, and each figure must separately make To Block rolls to defend itself. The strength of this Fireball is exactly 5, and cannot be increased like the actual Fireball spell. Unless countered by effects such as Counter Magic or a Node's dispelling aura, a sphere of fire will fly down from the sky, impact with the target, and deal damage to each Figure within the target unit immediately.

This is done by selecting that unit, clicking the "Spell" button in the combat menu, and selecting the unit's name.
