This model must be in its warcaster/warlock's control range to make the Spell Slave special action. When it does, it casts one of the spells on its warlock/warcaster's card with a COST of 3 or less. This model cannot cast upkeep spells or spells with a RNG of SELF or CTRL. When casting an offensive spell, Spell Slave is a magic attack. Use this model's Magic Ability score when making magic attack rolls.

Rules Clarification: : Necromancy (<a class="external text" href="../index979d.html?title=Template:RC_Necromancy&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>) (Click Expand to read)

</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Important Note 
This Rules Clarification is very similar to the ones for <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Spell_Slave" title="Spell Slave">Spell Slave</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Geomancy" title="Geomancy">Geomancy</a> (since all 3 are very similar abilities). Where Necromancy is different to the other two, the text has been coloured purple.
Who does the casting

<ul><li> It is the Deathjack that does the casting, not the warcaster. (<a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?259619-Who-s-the-spellcaster-Mortenebra-or-Deryliss-Musings-about-Overrun&p=3650496#post3650496" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a>)
<ul><li> It's not anything simple like the warcaster getting an extra spell during their own activation.</li>
<li> Nor is it anything like an arc node.</li>
<li> Any buffs/debuffs currently on your warcaster/warlock are completely irrelevant.</li></ul></li>
<li> For stuff that interacts with spellcasters (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Witch_Hunter" title="Witch Hunter">Witch Hunter</a>) it is the location of the Deathjack that matters, not the location of the warcaster.
<ul><li> If the Deathjack is within an area of "models cannot cast spells within this area" effect, it cannot cast spells. Regardless of where your warcaster is.</li>
<li> If the warcaster is within an area of "models cannot cast spells within this area" effect, that has no affect on what the Deathjack can do.</li></ul></li></ul>
When/how does the Deathjack cast 

<ul><li> Deathajck uses his Magic Ability to cast spells, but because it is neither a (★ Attack) or (★ Action) it means he can cast spells as an "Any Time" ability.</li>
<li> The Deatjack must pay the full COST of the spell.
<ul><li> Since it pays the full cost of a spell, it is affected by stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Lamentation" title="Lamentation">Lamentation</a>.</li></ul></li></ul>
What spells can the Deathjack choose to cast

<ul><li> The Deathjack cannot cast spells with a range of SELF or CTRL, or that are an UPKEEP.
<ul><li> Unlike Spell Slaves and Geomancers, it can cast spells with a COST more than 3.</li>
<li> It can cast spells that use the phrase "Spellcaster's battlegroup" because it's in the battlegroup.</li>
<li> In addition to this, the Deathjack is limited by the definition of 'Spellcaster'. Often it will be able to cast a spell fine, but the benefits won't be fully applicable to the Deathjack.
<ul><li> Deathjack cannot benefit from anything that occurs in the 'Spellcaster's CTRL area' because they don't have one. (<a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252912-Spell-slave-and-quot-the-spellcaster-s-battlegroup-quot&p=3650510#post3650510" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a>) For instance, a Deathjack that casts <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Excarnate" title="Excarnate">Excarnate</a> will not be able to summon a new grunt.</li>
<li> Deathjack cannot benefit from spells that give the caster Focus. Such benefits are limited to models with the 'Focus Manipulation' rule, which only warcasters have. For instance, a Spell Slave that casts <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Siphon_Bolt" title="Category:Siphon Bolt">Siphon Bolt</a> would still take focus from the enemy, but won't gain any focus itself.</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>
How can they boost the spell

<ul><li> The Deathjack can spend focus to boost, just like with a regular attack.</li></ul>
Other

<ul><li> The Deathjack doesn't gain any buffs/abilities that are on your warlock/warcaster (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=True_Sight" title="True Sight">True Sight</a>).</li>
<li> The Deathjack cannot channel spells through arc nodes. You can only channel through nodes in your control range, and he doesn't have a control range. </li>
<li> The Deathjack can use spells like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Annihilation" title="Annihilation">Annihilation</a> to gain enemy souls. But he will be unable to use the soul tokens so they will stay on the Deathjack for the rest of the game (doing nothing). (<a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?259635-Deathjack-annihilation&p=3650711&viewfull=1#post3650711" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a>)
<ul><li> A Soul Trapper cannot remove these souls from Deathjack. (<a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?259635-Deathjack-annihilation&p=3650729&viewfull=1#post3650729" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a>)</li></ul></li>
<li> Not only are warjacks in the caster's battlegroup, they are also in each other's battlegroup. In other words, all the warjacks are in Deathjack's battlegroup. (<a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252912-Spell-slave-and-quot-the-spellcaster-s-battlegroup-quot&p=3650510&viewfull=1#post3650510" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a>)
<ul><li> This means DJ can cast spells like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Locomotion" title="Locomotion">Locomotion</a>. Also, he can cast it on the same target as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Mortenebra2" title="Mortenebra2">Mortenebra2</a> because the spell is limited to "target warjack once per activation" not "target warjack once per turn."</li>
<li> Despite having a battlegroup, DJ can't cast spells like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Overrun" title="Overrun">Overrun</a> because he doesn't have a control range.</li></ul></li></ul>
