| * ** Alchemy (red mana) ** This spell turns dirt into gold tokens. 4 gold token for each red mana. {Slight problem: This is Fool's Gold and will be revealed as fakery in a subsequent turn the moment a joker has a special effect on any magic ritual. Thankfully such spells are only a theoretical possibility.} | * ** Alchemy (red mana) ** This spell turns dirt into gold tokens. 4 gold token for each red mana. {Slight problem: This is Fool's Gold and will be revealed as fakery in a subsequent turn the moment a joker has a special effect on any magic ritual.

| - | * ** Dance of the Skull (black mana) ** A dancing girl and a floating skull perform a writhing, spinning dance, while the male acolytes play the ritual bongos and the female acolytes the magic flutes. The entire next turn an anti-intrusion field covers the treasury & bagage train of the Prince of Darkness repelling any raid automatically. Cost: 1 black mana, a human skull and a sexy dancing girl. Those last 2 items are not in short supply and in any event can be reused anyway. | + | * ** Dance of the Skull (black mana) ** A dancing girl and a floating skull perform a writhing, spinning dance, while the male acolytes play the ritual bongos and the female acolytes the magic flutes.

| - | * ** Ship of Tears (black mana) ** A magic ship appears made of the tears of whores (m/f) lamenting the deaths of a Real Man!™. This ship can sail the river into Urr and dock whilst ignoring the fortifications that are there to repel a waterborn attack. The ship disappears after it has been docked, potentially stranding the units in a very hostile environment. For each unit to be carried you need both a black mana and a sample of camp follower tears shed during the memorial service of a different deceased Real Man!™. To count as a real man according to the standards of this spell, you must be the first player character of the game of a member of the entourage of The Dark Prince (including The Dark Prince). Rumours that by any objective standard the biggest stud in the game is captain regent Fabian of Urr are of course base slander. | + | |
| * **Fractured Unity (red mana)** This sows discord and emotional turmoil throughout a kingdom. This prevents anyone from seeing other groups in the same kingdom as allies. It can only be cast once on a specific kingdom. Casting this on Ur raises the terror track level by 1. Casting it on the Free Folk means that they abort everything they are doing now and the next turn is a tactical turn covering an Orcish civil war. Dwarves and Elves are completely immune to this spell. Each casting requires 1 red mana and the caster having betrayed his own team in a big way the others are not yet aware of. Each betrayal fuels only 1 casting. {Yes, defrauding the Dark Prince is such a betrayal} | * **Fractured Unity (red mana)** This sows discord and emotional turmoil throughout a kingdom.

| - | * ** Crimson Portents (red mana) ** Sacrifice a sentient being, read his/her entrails and predict a glorious victory. All of the armies under the banner of the Prince of Darkness get a +1 on their battle rolls during the next turn. Cost: 1 red mana, if a joker comes up the planned human sacrifice turns out to be a sexy dancing girl and the Fabulous Fabi and his Posse stage a daring rescue attempt giving the armies a -1 on the battle roll instead. The servants of the Prince do not realize this is how it works, so they are always surprised by this turn of events. | + | * ** Crimson Portents (red mana) ** Sacrifice a sentient being, read his/her entrails and predict a glorious victory.
