Gloomspite Gitz – Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron
Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron fumes with sorcerous energies, and a shaman who drinks of its foul fluids feels magical knowledge burn through their brain. Yet the cauldron squeals always with idiot hunger, and there is a price to be paid for the arcane power it bestows. A WIZARD in a garrison cannot attempt to summon this endless spell, and if this endless spell is summoned, the WIZARD that summoned it cannot join a garrison until this endless spell has been removed from play. LINKED: This endless spell must remain within 1" of the model that summoned it. For rules purposes, this endless spell and the model that summoned it are treated as a single model that uses that model’s warscroll, with the addition of the abilities on this warscroll. If the model that summoned this endless spell is slain, then this endless spell is immediately removed from play. If this endless spell is dispelled and the model that summoned it has not been slain, remove this endless spell from play but leave the model that summoned it on the battlefield. Blessings of the Cauldron: Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron grants great arcane power to the one brave or mad enough to call upon its aid. You can re-roll casting, dispelling and unbinding rolls for the model that summoned this endless spell while this endless spell is on the battlefield. In addition, the model that summoned this endless spell knows all the spells from the Lore of the Moonclans while this endless spell is on the battlefield. Bloodslither Pact: Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron only imparts its gifts when live victims are plunged screaming into the bubbling broth that sloshes around in its iron belly. If no enemies are nearby, then allies or even the caster will have to be sacrificed! After this endless spell is set up and at the start of each of their hero phases, the commanding player must pick 1 unit within 3" of the model that summoned this endless spell. That unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. Designer’s Note: If there are no other units within 3", then the model that summoned this endless spell will suffer the mortal wounds. | ||

14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.
19.1 Casting Spells
In your hero phase, you can attempt to cast spells with friendly WIZARDS. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different WIZARD. In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly WIZARD, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6. If the casting roll is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.
19.1.2 Unbinding Spells
If a spell is successfully cast, your opponent can pick 1 of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. In order to attempt to unbind a spell, first say which WIZARD will attempt to unbind it. Then make an unbinding roll by rolling 2D6. If the unbinding roll is greater than the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is unbound and its effects are not applied. The number of spells a WIZARD can attempt to unbind is noted on their warscroll. Only 1 unbinding attempt can be made for each spell.

19.3.2 Dispelling Endless Spells
At the start of the hero phase, each player can attempt to dispel 1 endless spell with each friendly WIZARD and friendly PRIEST. The player whose turn is taking place makes all of their dispelling attempts first. If a WIZARD attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can attempt to cast or unbind 1 fewer spell in that hero phase. If a PRIEST attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can chant 1 fewer prayer in that hero phase. The same player cannot attempt to dispel the same endless spell more than once per phase.To attempt to dispel an endless spell, pick 1 endless spell that is within 30" of a friendly WIZARD or friendly PRIEST and that is visible to them. Then make a dispelling roll by rolling 2D6. If the roll is greater than the casting value of that endless spell, it is dispelled and removed from play. An endless spell cannot be summoned again in the turn that it is removed from play.
