The spell may be cast at any enemy unit within range. Roll a D6 for each model in the unit - on a 5 or 6 the model is slain. No armour saves allowed. At the start of each subsequent Undead magic phase roll again for each model, adding a further +1 to the score. In the first magic phase a victim dies on a roll of 5+; in the next magic phase they die on a roll of 4+, and so on.

Remains in play

This is yet another spell which affects a unit, but where a character must also test and cannot use the 'Look Out Sir' rule. In the case of monsters and riders, chariots, and other composite models roll once for the entire model. The entire model is destroyed or not. Bear in mind the spell kills its victims outright - no wounds are inflicted and so no wounds can be saved by armour or wards.
