The Winds of Magic cards are used to determine how much magical energy the wizards have to cast spells and counter those of their enemy. Broadly speaking, there are three types of card:
Power | There are 22 power cards plus the Total Power card. |
Counter Magic | This includes 8 Dispels plus one each of Mental Duel, Destroy Spell, Rebound and Drain Magic. |
Escape | The Winds of Magic deck includes a solitary Escape card - which can be very useful, as you will discover! |
The Winds of Magic cards are used in the following fashion. 1. At the start of each magic phase the player whose turn it is rolls 2D6 to determine how many cards are available representing the strength of the winds of magic. 2. The pack is shuffled and the indicated number of cards is divided between the players, the player whose turn it is receiving any odd card.
