This has been a long time coming; my first Master Set. It started back in 2016 when I decided to redo all of the units from Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers sets. I also wanted to introduce spell cards into the game. I had tried with others on Heroscapes.com to make spell and rune cards previously. I consistently ran into the same problems: more complex, unnecessary, more rules, remaking old cards, etc. But I also had reasons to continue: more thematic for magic units like wizards, variety, good filler cards, good for champions and scenarios. Well along this journey I went through many versions of this and during this time the C3G on Heroscapers.com came out with a rule set for spell cards that was simple and easy to use, so I have adopted it and made a few tweaks to it. I also, decided that instead of trying to remake all the spells from Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers sets, I would make the spells mirror special powers and attacks that are mostly already in the game.
In this Master Set you will find not only spell cards but also a spell typing system to tie into the elements of nature and remakes of various Heroscape cards to accommodate the use of spells as Spellcasters. All of these new spell cards along with any card remakes may be found in the rule book. The new Units will have their own books and all of the spells will be also posted below here for reference.
In addition, you will also find the introduction of Summons and Summoners. Many Spellcasters also have the ability to summon powerful elementals on to the battle field and control them. This is an extension of my Neutral Figures rules and completes that remaking of previous Heroscape cards as such.
Please note that like traditional Heroscape not all spells or units are created equal, some will be more powerful then others and some will lack in power but be very thematic.
Now that this has been completed I will hopefully be able to put out more customs that have been backlogged because of this needed Rule Set, and you might of noticed a Halloween Witch who came out a little early with the Spellcasting ability.
