AoS Faction-Specific Endless Spells

[Canas]

I disagree.

Now more than ever with 2nd edition, having a wizard that has an awesome signature spell, can now cast endless spells, and has a good ability on top of that, for 80 points? That's amazing.

There's a reason he finds it' way in most of the Seraphon lists. Very versatile wizard.

My point isn't that he is bad. He's a usefull lil wizard. My point is that he feels bad because he only gets the one spell-cast per turn and it's not even a particularly flashy spell which is then made worse by the absence of the anti-chaos bonus in 99% of the cases. Hence why I don't like mechanics that are give a bonus against a specific type of unit or faction unless you can be very certain that bonus will see a lot of use.

In general I'd like for minor wizards to get a bit more to do though. It'd help a lot with making em feel more influential if they did more than the one spellcast, even if with endless spells they now have a much more noticeable impact on the game. Also again, this is purely a matter of how they feel, not a complaint that they're actually underpowered. Just that their power isn't necesarly very noticeable.

It's not you. The text is different… but visually, it appears normal when I quote your post, just to change again when I post my reply

That's fine. I don't know about your local meta, but here there are daemon units way more often than 1% of the time.

It is displaying as a Roman font on my Smartaleck device. (The people who sold it to me said it is a Smart device; but now I know better.

given that my local meta consists of my girlfriend I currently indeed face 1% demons, namely her leading her stormforged..

Also yay, my text is normal again.
