The following list summarises all the magic spells that have been printed to date. As well as the spells that were published in Warhammer Battle Magic, it includes Chaos Dwarf spells from White Dwarf 163, the Ice Magic spells from Warhammer Armies - The Empire, the complete and revised Dark Magic and Necromantic spell decks, and the three decks of Chaos spells from Warhammer Armies - Chaos. Where we think it may be helpful we have also included summaries of pertinent rules, where these may have been revised or expanded from the original rules in Warhammer Battle Magic, eg Chaos and the Undead. At the end of the Spell Summary you will find a summary of the Chaos Rewards.
The table immediately below summarises what spells the different types of wizard may take.
