  1. Great thx for this post!

    Why there is 2 signature spells? U can choose one or our high mages know both?

    There are two kinds of bolt thrower now? Price of both is the same(70)? Could u write something more about them?

    1. No idea about the signature spells. I assume you may choose either. There is 8 spells in total for High Magic with each spell representing one of the colours.

      The Eagle Eye bolt thrower is the one mounted on the flying chariots, were as the eagle claw is the normal repeater bolt thrower

  2. Sweet that point decrease might actually make it worth taking!
