Lores of magic compared by the numbers
The shared lores side by side: how many damage, augment, hex and summon spells each has, their biggest damage and their average cost. Patch 9.0.2.
COMPUTEDThe 33 shared lores (legendary lords' own spell sets aside), counted from their spells: damage spells, augments (augment, regeneration, ward save), hexes and summons. Biggest damage is the best case of one cast of the lore's strongest magic missile or bombardment, and the vortex figure is per model over the vortex's life — both as on best spells. Average winds = mean Winds of Magic cost of its spells. No lore is “best” for every army; this is what each one has.
