S e id ar
the future with the use of Seidar Magic. Each time she successfully
casts one of her spells, she immediately gets a glimpse of the
immediate future and can pass the vision on to her people, as a
warning for dangers ahead. After a successful cast, nominate one
friendly unit within 24". The affected unit may then reroll 1’s to hit
and to wound until the end of the Norse players turn.
Fenrir Claws (Signature Spell) Cast on 5+ 4. Fallen Souls of Arasteinn Cast on 10+
