   * ** The Fabulous Fabi and his Posse (red mana) ** Activate 'The Fabulous Fabi and his Posse'. Resolve this as a raid. Ignore all the usual raid modifiers and replace them with a flat +1 bonus. Roll 1 die for each red mana and keep the best result. Countermeasures can drive the posse away, but can't damage them. Fabi and his Posse have way to many responsibilities to be doing this. Each time this spell is activated raise the terror track by 1.
   * ** Morath's Mobile Manor (red mana) ** A large manor, small fort, watchtower, or //**Helmet of Otranto**// under control of the government of Ur suddenly grows wheels and drives away. Such buildings are not indicated on the map, so (within reason) the caster gets to make them up. This spell can be used to move such a structure across any more or less flat terrain, to any flat point on the map. The spell cannot make a fortification cross the river without using a bridge, or maneuver through a narrow ally way, but the main streets of Ur are doable with the smaller fortifications. It takes a full nearby infantry unit to block such a relocation. 1 structure can be moved for each red mana.
-  * ** The Company of the Displacer Beast (red mana) ** Activate 'The Company of the Displacer Beast'. Resolve this as a raid. Ignore all the usual raid modifiers and replace them with a flat +1 bonus. Roll 1 die for each red mana and keep the best result. Countermeasures can drive the Company away, but can't damage them. These guys are only in it for the money. Each mission will cost 2 gold tokens, 1 gold token if they get to steal something and keep it. They will do 1 mission for free if success on this specific mission allows them to claim that they and they alone saved Urr from the invasion afterwards.

   * ** Yimsha's Carpet (red mana) ** A procession winds itself around the Ziggurat 3 times, afterwards a supernatural cloud of gold-veined crimson appears covering at least part of it. Than the procession leaves the central square of Urr at a stately speed and advances towards it goal. Those inside the cloud cannot be harmed, or obstructed in any way, but they can't affect the outside world either. At it's destination the cloud disappears, revealing the procession. 1 red mana for each 1000 covered by the cloud. Special: It is usually a bad idea to try to use this spell to move military units to a position on a field of battle. Because of the difference between a battlefield formation and the setup for a procession.

-  * ** Aldryk's Fire Quencher (black mana) ** Activates part of the gigantic sprinkler installation that draws from the lake between the Metal Mountains and has been wired throughout most of the city of Urr and the inside of the mountain of the Gnomish Confederacy. Any fire in an affected area will go out and the affected area will be flooded. If the cause of the fire is still active in the location (say an impertinent dragon), than that cause will be soaked in an ungodly amount of water. The system is untested, but the Gnomes are confident it will work. Special: A joker activates the entire system flooding both Ur and the Gnomish Confederacy

The system is untested, but the Gnomes are confident it will work. Special: A joker activates the entire system flooding both Ur and the Gnomish Confederacy
   * ** Castle of Weeds (red mana) ** Naturally occurring local plants instantly grow to enormous size covering a squared centimeter on the map. It does not function as a real fortification but it will slow down an advancing army. It takes an army 1 tactical turn to move through the 'castle', destroying it in the process. Defenders can't be effectively stationed on top of, or inside the 'castle'. Permanent until destroyed. There are only 2 pouches of the magical fertilizer needed in the game. Both are in the hands of the Elves. Spell costs 1 red mana and can't be improved with more mana.
   * ** Charm of Brachial Fortitude (red mana) ** For each red mana + a food token (potions of Bovril for the enlisted men, glasses of Coca Wine for the officers) a unit has a +2 on all rolls during the next tactical turn.
