	**Given their Bravery 6, taking big units is a high risk/high reward situation. Units of them make for an incredible target for the Akhelian King's Command and they have an expanded coherency range to make better use of cover.

Just make sure you use Inspiring Presence on them until ''High Tide'' rolls around or keep them wholly within 12" of an Akhelian King with Lord of Storm and Sea or 18" of an Aspect of the Sea.		**Given their Bravery 6, taking big units is a high risk/high reward situation.

His main weapon is either a Greatsword or a Bladed Polearm; the latter is better provided you can keep charging (perfect time to take advantage of Ebb Tide): 2", -2 Rend, and trades one attack for dishing out 3 damage, -3 Rend instead when he charges. If you can't reliably charge each time, the Sword and Spear actually mathhammer out to very similar damage (we are talking fractions here).

	#'''Steed of Tides:''' Casting Value 5. Pick a friendly hero that is not a monster within 6". Remove them from the table and set them up ~~within 24" of their original spot and~~ outside of 9" of enemies. This counts as their movement in the movement phase. The Hero does not need to be an Idoneth Deepkin.		#'''Steed of Tides:''' Casting Value 5. Pick a friendly hero that is not a monster within 6" and visible to the caster. Remove them from the table and set them up anywhere on the table outside of 9" of enemies. This counts as their movement in the movement phase. The Hero does not need to be an Idoneth Deepkin.
	#'''Abyssal Darkness:''' Casting Value 5. Friendly deepkin are treated as being within cover while wholly within 9" of the caster until your next hero phase. Entirely worthless on your first turn <s>and worthless on any other turn if you have a Leviadon</s> This is no longer true. In fact, imagine Ishlaen Guard with a Leviadon plus this spell. Damn near impregnable.
	#'''Vorpal Maelstrom:''' Casting Value 6. Pick a spot within 18" of the caster that they can see. Roll for each enemy unit within 3" of that spot, if the dice is less than or equal to the number of models in that unit they take d3 mortal wounds.
	#'''Pressure of the Deeps:''' Casting Value 7. Pick an enemy they can see within 12" and roll a dice. If you beat their wound stat they are slain. Interestingly you pick a ''model'' with this, not a unit. So just point at that icon bearer in the Pink Horror unit to seriously piss your opponent off.		#'''Pressure of the Deeps:''' Casting Value 7. Pick an enemy they can see within 12" and roll a dice.

	#'''~~Tide of Fear~~:''' Casting Value 6. ~~Pick~~ an enemy ~~the caster can see~~ within 12"~~. Until~~ your next hero phase ~~that unit gets -1 to hit and to bravery~~. ~~Nice,~~ but ~~remember that your Aspect of the Sea can do that to D6 units~~. ~~Better yet, combine the two to make sure one enemy~~ unit ~~in particular~~ is ~~utterly screwed~~.
	#'''~~Arcane Corrosion~~:''' Casting Value 6. ~~This auto targets the closest~~ enemy~~. Measure the distance between~~ the caster and ~~that unit~~. ~~If the distance is: 12" or less: 1 mortal wound. 13-24": 2 mortal wounds. 25-36": 3 mortal wounds. 37~~-~~48" 4 mortal wounds. Such~~ a weird spell. Interesting in that it is a damage spell that can be used turn 1, as most damage spells have too short a range for that to work, but ''Arcane Corrosion'' can't just be used turn 1, it's practically guaranteed to do quite a bit of damage then.		#'''Arcane Corrosion:''' Casting Value 6. Target an enemy unit within 12" and worsen the rend of their melee attacks by 1 until your next hero phase. A useful debuff but with a very short range. Generally if a scary unit is within this spell’s range they are either about to kill or get killed by you.

			#'''Counter-Current:''' Casting Value 6. Target an enemy unit 18" and visible to the caster. That unit’s run and charge rolls are halved until your next hero phase. Fantastic way to keep your opponents heavy-hitters at a distance.
