INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS FB: 9TH AGE?
Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age (FB: 9th Age), is a boardgame and wargame in which two opposing armies,
represented by adequate models, collide and face each other. Further information about the game can be found
here:
http://www.the-ninth-age.com/

HOW TO USE THE DOCUMENT

In this section all magic Paths, both the 8 common Paths known as 'Battle Magic' and the race specific Paths are
updated.
Each Path consists of 7-9 separate spells. One of these spells is the Path Attribute, marked with attribute under
casting value. The other spells are numbered 0-6. Spell 0 is the signature spell (wizards can always choose to
swap one spell for this spell when randomizing spells, and more than one wizard can know this spell). Some
spells have more than one casting value. The higher casting value(s) is the 'boosted' version of the spell.
Sometimes range and/or limits are increased for the boosted version (giving the spell longer range for example),
while other times the spells effect can change. Which parts of the spell (target restrictions, type, effects, etc)
change when cast as the boosted version and which parts stay the same is marked by using colour coding; red
text is applied to the non-boosted version, blue (bold) text is applied to the boosted version and black text is
applied to both versions. In some rare cases a second boosted version is also available, this is marked with
brown text.
