Binding Scroll

One use only. Duration: One Phase. Can be activated during the opponent’s Siphon the Veil (Magic Phase, step 2): choose a Caster and select one of their spells (Bound or Learned): the chosen Caster cannot voluntarily cast the selected instance of this spell. E.g. if a caster has the same spell more than one time, only a single instance cannot be cast, and this has no effect on Magical Mishap

Dragon’s Brew

One use only. Duration: End of Turn Breath Attack (Str~4, AP~1, Flaming Attacks, Stand and Shoot).

Potion of Power Preservation

One use only. Duration: Instant. May be activated immediately when a Casting Roll or Dispel Roll fails, due to not rolling high enough: do not discard the Magic Dice used in this unsuccessful attempt.

Spell Scroll#1{}{~(#1)}

One use only. Duration: One Phase. Can be activated at any time during your Magic Phase: the bearer knows the spell indicated in brackets in addition to its other spells, unless they already know it.

Scroll of Power

One use only. Duration: Instant. Can be activated immediately after seeing the result of a Casting Roll ((step 3 of the Casting Spells sequence – Roll Dice)): the bearer may add one additional free Magic Dice to this Casting Roll. The limit of five Magic Dice still applies. Note: the use of a Power Scroll can trigger a Miscast.

Scroll of a Free Mind

One use only. Duration: Permanent. Can be activated in a friendly Magic Phase, before drawing a Flux card: the bearer loses all its Learned Spells from its selected Magic Path granted by Wizard Apprentice, Wiz\-ard Adept, Wizard Master, or Universal Swap (the Hereditary Spell, as well as spells granted by other sources, are unaffected). The bearer gains the same number of spells from a single other Path available to them during list creation. The spells are gained starting from the first spell of the Path, progressing towards the last spell of the Path. This does not change the bearer’s chosen Magic Path. Note: by doing so, it is possible that a single Wizard gain the same spell twice – yet they still won’t be able to cast that same spell multiple times (for example, a Death Cult Hierarch with Wiz\-ard Adept and Soul Conduit that selected spells \#1 and \#3 from Divination and swapped to Eternal Guardian during Battle Setup selects Evocation with Scroll of the Free Mind: they now know Whispers of the Veil twice, as well as Danse Macabre, and Eternal Guardian).

Scroll of Draining

One use only. Duration: Instant. May be activated in the opponent’s Magic Phase, immediately after Excess Magic: the opponent immediately discards 1~Magic Dice.
