	:'''Passive - ''Kindleflame''''': Whenever you cast a Lore of Fire spell, it imbues a map wide fire weakness to all enemy units as you cast. The benefits combined with this lore are obvious, and allows for great synergy when used with other units who deal fire damage. Combines nicely with Flaming Sword of ~~Ruin~~.		:'''Passive - ''Kindleflame''''': Whenever you cast a Lore of Fire spell, it imbues a map wide fire weakness to all enemy units as you cast.

	:'''Fireball''': Inexpensive projectile that is found all over the goddamn place. High Elven Mages and Skink Priests can get 4 uses of them for free. It's... alright-ish. Like all projectiles, Fireballs strongly depend on the casters positioning and its damage is kinda meh. Can still be reliably used to snipe big monsters and Lords out of the sky, and its considerable range makes it a very attractive and cheap source of fire damage to be used against Ethereal units or Wood Elven Tree Spirits. The minor boost in damage provided by overcasting generally isn't worth the increased Wind cost, so in almost every circumstance you're better off just casting normally. Its AP is kind of low so it isn't very impressive versus armored targets, best used on lightly armored monsters or Lords/Heroes.		:'''Fireball''': Inexpensive projectile that is found all over the goddamn place.

	*'''Flaming Sword of Rhuin''': Cheap (8/12) base/overcast buff for your troops that makes all of their attacks deal fire and magic damage, as well as increasing their damage output by 30% for 22/44 seconds. Don't forget that this can also be cast on ranged units, so have fun experimenting with that. With the upcoming changes to magic resistance set to only affect damage inflicted by spells, this is set to become a solid tool for enabling some of your heavier hitters to shoulder through units with high physical resistances. Just beware, flame resistance will still be able to shrug off the damage.		*'''Flaming Sword of Rhuin''': Cheap (8/12) base/overcast buff for your troops that makes all of their attacks deal fire and magic damage, as well as increasing their damage output by 30% for 22/44 seconds.

	*'''Cascading Fire Cloak''': Extremely cheap (only 5 winds of magic!) AoE buff that increases AP Damage of your melee troops by 24% and also gives them 25 Melee Defense for 19 seconds. Gives your frontline a bit more staying power and makes Greatswords, not to mention Har Garneth Executioners or Swordmasters of Hoeth downright terrifying. Important to keep in mind is that it won't do jack shit for units that bring no AP damage on their own, like Imperial Swordsmen. A 100% increase of 1 would still be 2. its single target only unfortunately and percentage based so maybe use on a monster or lord/hero for best results.		*'''Cascading Fire Cloak''': Extremely cheap (only 5 winds of magic!)

	*'''Spirit Leech''': The first spell in this Lore and it's one of the best, if we're being honest. A rather cheap, direct damage spell at 8 Winds of Magic. Preferably used against Characters and Monsters and probably the most cost-efficient Character sniping spell in the game (does 834 damage without any resistances on average, ignores armor). It also can serve as a nice counter against Ethereal units. It actually works very well vs small monstrous cavalry and infantry units, think the 6-24 model range, also ok on smallish elite units also but anything over 20ish models really hurts its efficiency, Bjuna is far better for that. One cast can nearly kill most artillery because it (usually) hits the machines, not the crew. Very versatile and mana efficient, the standard to which all direct damage spells are compared.		*'''Spirit Leech''': The first spell in this Lore and it's one of the best, if we're being honest.

	*'''Doom and Darkness''': Basically the opposite of the Lore of Light's Light of Battle Spell. Sits in the 10 Winds niche of rather specific debuffs. It reduces the leadership of an enemy unit by a whopping 16, enough to send most standard troops into a rout once they have taken some losses and to mitigate any effects the presence of a Character in their vicinity might have. Notably less useful against Undead, who cannot rout, but can still cause them to begin crumbling more quickly if such a tactic is necessary. Of course, this spell is completely useless against Unbreakable units. Pretty useless in very hard or legendary campaign battle difficulty because of the crazy leadership buffs the AI gets, but nice on normal and hard difficulties as well as multiplayer.		*'''Doom and Darkness''': Basically the opposite of the Lore of Light's Light of Battle Spell.

	*'''Soulblight''': An ok AoE debuff, for its relatively low cost of 8 Winds of Magic/ 14 overcast. Lowers the armor (-30) and weapon damage (-30%) of all units in an ~~AOE~~ for 25 seconds, 50 if overcast. The pairing of armor and weapon damage debuffs don't synergize that well with each other and the lowish base duration can be rough, maybe worth overcasting for double duration if you cast at all. still its a more efficient armor removing spell than plague of rust because of its ~~AOE~~ so that's something. it may only debuff two less important stats but it isn't bad since its an affordable ~~AOE~~ debuff. Doomfire ~~warlocks~~ get this free so never pay winds for it as the ~~dark elves~~ if you can help it. ~~overcast~~ is double duration for slightly cheaper than double so worth it in theory.		*'''Soulblight''': An ok AoE debuff, for its relatively low cost of 8 Winds of Magic/ 14 overcast.

Overcast is double duration for slightly cheaper than double so worth it in theory.
	*'''Aspect of the Dreadknight''': Same as ~~deal~~ with Soulblight. It's extremely cheap at 4 Winds of Magic, but its effect of +8 Leadership and ~~Causes~~ Terror for friendly units isn't terribly useful considering that many factions that can use the Lore of Death (especially the Undead factions) have no shortage of ~~Units~~ that cause ~~fear~~ and ~~terror~~ or are completely exempt from Leadership issues. Giving magic attacks is the more useful effect, especially for factions who would otherwise have limited or no access to magic attacks.		*'''Aspect of the Dreadknight''': Same deal as with Soulblight.

Giving magic attacks is the more useful effect, especially for factions who would otherwise have limited or no access to magic attacks.
	*'''The Purple Sun of Xereus''': The good ol' "cast it successfully and the game is over" Vortex from the Tabletop doesn't disappoint here either. At 18 (24 when overcast) Winds of Magic, a fairly expensive Vortex that will completely demolish everything it touches, its only downside being that it is hard to predict where it will eventually go, but even the initial cast on a large moshpit of infantry is worth it. Particularly devastating on Bridge Battles, where Wizards with this spell will rack up a ludicrous amount of kills from one single cast alone.		*'''The Purple Sun of Xereus''': The good ol' "cast it successfully and the game is over" Vortex from the Tabletop doesn't disappoint here either.

	*'''The Fate of Bjuna''': This is an odd one. An expensive single target direct damage spell That serves mainly as a middle finger to cavalry, elite infantry any thing with a medium model count. Deals large amounts of damage, but needs careful evaluation on when to use it. It's considered op in multiplayer where elite units are expensive and rare. In campaign, where stacks of endgame units are common, it's too expensive where a bombardment, missile or even vortex does more for cheaper. Its price is very inflated because of its power in multiplayer. You can just drop ~~purple sun~~ on a single unit for cheaper vs the AI most of the time. Not very efficient vs anything with less than 45 models.		*'''The Fate of Bjuna''': This is an odd one.

	*'''Gaze of Mork''': Often overlooked, but not completely useless. Gaze of Mork is a cheap precise sniper-rilfe style spell that does decent damage to a single entity. The best part of the spell is the long range, which is good for greenskins who normally struggle when the enemy is too far away. Overcasting lets it trade shots with artillery all the way across the map.		*'''Gaze of Mork''': Often overlooked, but not completely useless.

	*'''Wind of Death''': A great wind spell, but Immortal Empires nerfed it's damage and mana cost to be more in line with other armor piercing wind spells like pendulum and cracks call. You'll still get your money's worth out of it, just don't expect it to single handedly win battles like it could in Warhammer 1 and 2.		*'''Wind of Death''': A great wind spell, but Immortal Empires nerfed it's damage and mana cost to be more in line with other armor piercing wind spells like pendulum and cracks call.

Summery of Strengths: a very offensive fiery lore that's all about hurting your enemies, either by broiling them to a crisp or weakening them. Some spells are quite niche, but all that fire weakness can really add up since many units in the roster have fire damage in some way shape or form. Total lack of support.

	*'''~~Burning Wrath~~'''		''Killing Fire (passive)'': Despite it's extremely dumb name, this passive basically turns your character into a mortis engine for 5 seconds, dealing a moderate amount of damage per second to all units within 55m. It would be pretty useless for most other factions, but the combined-arms approach of the Dawi-Zharr make this at least situationally useful. Lords like Drazoath probably get the most benefit.
	*'''Dark Subjugation'''
	*'''Ash Storm''': Creates a ~~circle in which everything in it becomes slower and more vulnerable~~ to ~~fire~~.
	*'''Curse of ~~Hashut'''~~
	*'''Hell Hammer'''
	*'''Flames of Azgorh'''

			*'''Burning Wrath''': A magic missile with an explosion, which leaves a tiny AoE vortex that sucks nearby models inwards. Pretty bad vs armor, but can really mess up unarmored chaff, making it great against undead factions (or wood elf tree spirits). Has a good 300 range, and that vortex can slow enemies down for a couple seconds, but the chaos dwarf artillery fills this role and does it far better, meaning you probably won't see it much in multiplayer. On the single player side, it's overcasted version can be insanely good at destroying close range blobs.
			*'''Dark Subjugation''': -8 leadership and -24 melee defence for 17 seconds. At 6 winds you're getting decent bang for your buck, but this is a pretty redundant spell that's really only useful against elite infantry and maybe especially tanky single entities, which the chorfs are already highly specialized at dealing with.
			*'''Ash Storm''': Creates a very cool-looking circle in which everything in it becomes slower and more vulnerable to fire. It may seem expensive for what it does at 10 winds, but it lasts for a good 32 seconds, meaning there's really no reason to overcast it. The slow is situationally ok against fast factions, but timing it correctly means that all your fiery artillery and monsters get a 20% damage boost in the AoE, which can be pretty nasty in the right moments.
			*'''Curse of Hashut''': It's essentially a worse spirit leech. Deals the same damage as the aforementioned spell, and has twice the range (though it doesn't increase when overcasted). At 11 winds of magic base (the same as overcasted spirit leech) it's pretty cost inefficient. Overcasting it costs a chunky 16 winds for a 5-second increase in duration. Pretty lame spell. in multiplayer, generally best to leave it at home.
			*'''Hell Hammer''': It's basically Fiery Convocation with a narrower path and a bit more specialized against unarmored infantry, although it certainly does it's job against armored as well. It has a similar very long and noticeable startup, meaning you have to aim it properly, and against slow moving units, or risk wasting 16 winds.
			*'''Flames of Azgorh''': Summon an underground eruption to make blobs nice and toasy. This spell is absolutely busted right now due to a bug (or simply inadequate playtesting) in that while it's meant for killing blobs of chaff, it can totally NUKE single entities reducing half the hp of even beefy lords/heroes in a single cast. This is likely because the projectiles are spawned under the floor of the map at a very narrow point in the casting radius, so if you aim right, every projectile will hit the entity without triggering the projectiles explosion which adds up to disgusting damage. Expect this to get patched in the future.
