Mancers and Magery in Ryftlund
Minor Arcana
In Stormglow Battlegame, the term Mancer is used to describe magic, or Minor Arcana, wielding players and are written with strategic play in mind. Mancers have several unique abilities – healing, Magical Shieldbreaker, Coup de Grâce, summoning spells and game changing powers from the Major Arcana – that provide their teams with new ways to play the game and win the battle.
Major Arcana (Coming Soon!)
Mancers in Stormglow Battlegame can harness the power of the Soul Crystals and to cast spells that alter the tide of battle by impairing the actions of the opposing force. Soul Crystals are highly sought-after items that are collected when one side of a battle game is vanquished. A crystal is awarded to the losing side and contains the ‘souls of the fallen’. Soul Crystals are stored on the Battle Board until enough have been collected for use.
