Rules Clarification : Arcane Vortex      (Edit)

• Warjacks and warbeasts can spend focus or fury, outside of their activation, to use Arcane Vortex. (Infernal Ruling)
• Mulg spends fury to use it, he is not forced for fury. (Infernal Ruling)
• Arcane vortex can be used to counter spells with "Range: Self". (Infernal Ruling)
• Some spells do not have a target, mostly CTRL area spells (such as Siege's Foxhole) but also some (★ Action) (such as Ragman's Death Field). These cannot be cancelled by Arcane Vortex. Infernal Ruling)
• The "Cost" for non-warcaster models includes stuff like "using your special action" or "killing a Mind Bender Drudge."
• Arcane Vortex triggers at step 3 of the spellcasting sequence. (Resolve effects that occur when a model is targeted by a spell.) (Infernal Ruling)
• If a channeled spell is cancelled, it doesn't count as being channeled, so the channeler can't trigger stuff like Reaction Drive or Spell Martyr. (Infernal Ruling)
• There are a couple of odd spells:
  1. (Primal Shock and Essence Blast) - Both these spells "Choose" model A, then gets to "Target" model B with an attack. In this case you can trigger Arcane Vortex only when model B is targeted.
  2. (Crevasse) - This spell attacks model A, then gets to use model A to make another attack vs model B. In this case you can trigger Arcane Vortex only when model A is targeted.

(Infernal Ruling for both of the above.)
