Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: The Winds of Magic Collector’s Edition

Description

The chaotic and raw energies of Chaos flow into the world through shattered warpgates at the poles of the earth, powering sorcery and sustaining malevolent Daemonic entities. This is magic in its purest, yet most unstable form. Thankfully, thanks to the guidance of Teclis, the greatest of the High Elf Mages, human wizards have learned to harness the power of a single facet of magic and work with a form of sorcery that is relatively safe, yet still capable of incredible feats of power. These isolated strands of raw magical energy are known as the Winds of Magic.

The Winds of Magic Collector's Edition is a stunning grimoire, featuring a faux leather cover with intricate embossments of Paranoth's Wheel and symbols representing the Colleges of Magic. The cover is enhanced with Spot UV to highlight even more intricate details and texture, and finished off with a gold foil stamp that would make the finest print presses in Altdorf proud.

The book's spine is rounded with raised hubs, and it exudes the essence of a dusty tome that one might hide in an attic to avoid being discovered by prowling witch hunters. This Collector's Edition is a must-have for any fan of Warhammer's rich and immersive universe, with its fascinating portrayal of the dangerous and unpredictable power of the Winds of Magic
