WHTBK - Artifact spells

[gatesphere]

Hi all,

Warrior Heroes: To Be King lists 3 artifacts in the campaign section, 2 of which allow a possessing caster to cast the listed spell successfully:

Amulet of Sorbrowane (p.44)
<...snip...>
In addition, the Amulet allows the Caster to Cast the following
Spells with automatic success.
• Inspire.
• Healing Hands.
• Shield Wall.
Each Spell may be Cast once per Battle and at up to five
targets in addition to those of the Caster’s Rep.

Similarly:

Brazier of Durmun (p.44)
<...snip...>
In addition, the Amulet (assuming Brazier here) allows the Caster to Cast the following
Spells with automatic success.
• Blast.
• Fog of War.
• Despair.
Each Spell may be Cast once per Battle and at up to five
targets in addition to those of the Caster’s Rep.

The magic as described in the rest of the game doesn't have spells with names, and I don't see these specific spells called out anywhere else.  How do these artifact spells work?

Nice catch. The Artifacts are used for specific spells in WHAT. For TBK we use generic - Brazier casts Damage Spells while Amulet casts Defend Spells. Hope this helps. Yes, Brazier, geez, just when I think I've caught all the edits. Thanks.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see specific spells called out in WHAT either -- just the same three categories.

I suppose Healing Hands could be considered a "Healing Character" action (WHAT p. 36). "Blast" only shows up under magic items for damage spells in WHAT, as a Staff of Blasting or Blasting Wand.

I see nothing for the other 4 spell names in WHAT, doing a quick Ctrl-F search.

My bad. Not WHAT, an older rules set. WHAA - Armies and Adventurers.  Went to grouping spells by results and missed this.
