Magic:

Necromancy
- Invocation of Nehek, Raise Dead and Vanhel’s Danse Macabre are Necromancy spells.

#0 Invocation of Nehek (4+)
- Every caster has it (even if chose other than Necromancy Magic)
- Heals any undead unit (d6+4 zombies, d6 of any other infantry unit, 1 wound for non-infantry or any kind of vampire/ethereal unit)
- Range 12"
- If a unit is increased above its original size then destroyed, it is still only worth the original number of vp's.

#1 Raise Death (5+)
- Summons d6 +4 zombies within 12" from the caster and min 1" from enemy units.
- Unit is worth 50 VP no matter how big it is.

#2 Vanhel's Danse Macabre (7+)
- Range 12"
- Lets you move a unit that is not in combat, as before
- For a unit that is already in combat, the effect is as for the old Hellish Vigour

#3 Gaze of Nagash (8+)
- Magic Missiles, 2D6 Strenght 4

#4 Curse of Years (8+)
- Range changed to 18"

#5 Wind of Undeath (12+)
- Every enemy unit on the board takes one wound on a D6 roll of 4+ (no armour save)
- Wounds caused lets you create a new Spirit Host within 12" away from the caster and min 1" from enemy units with that number of wounds.

#6 Summon Zombie Horde (12+)
- Can be used to create a new unit of 5d6 zombies within 12" from the caster, or heals 3d6 wounds, spread across the army as you wish, subject to the normal limitations (i.e. max 1 wound on vampires, etc.)
