<p>This model must be in its warcaster/warlock's <b><span style="color:purple">control</span></b> 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.

<td><i><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Explanatory Note</b></span></i>
<p><i>This Rules Clarification is very similar to the ones for <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Necromancy" title="Necromancy">Necromancy</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Geomancy" title="Geomancy">Geomancy</a> (since all 3 are very similar abilities). <b>Where Spell Slave is unique, the text has been <span style="color:blue">coloured blue</span></b>.</i>
</p><p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Who does the casting </b></span>
</p>
<ul><li> It is the model with Spell Slave that does the casting, <i>not</i> the warcaster. (<b><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></b>)
<ul><li> It's not anything simple like "the warcaster gets an extra spell" during the warcaster's activation.</li>
<li> Nor is it the "Spell Slave acts like an arc node". (On that note, Spell Slaves can't use arc nodes). </li>
<li> Any buffs/debuffs currently on your warcaster/warlock are completely irrelevant to the Spell Slave's casting. </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 Spell Slave that matters, not the location of the warcaster.
<ul><li> If the Spell Slave 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 effect on what the Spell Slave can do.</li></ul></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b><span style="color:blue">When/how does a Spell Slave cast</span></b></span>
</p>
<ul><li> Spell Slaves use their Magic Ability to perform either a (★ Attack) or (★ Action).
<ul><li> Because you use your Combat Action to do (★ Attack) or (★ Action) you must complete your movement before casting a spell (unlike warcasters).</li>
<li> Typically, you cannot cast a spell after charging, because instead you <i>must</i> use your Combat Action to make a melee attack.</li>
<li> If you forfeit your action, or are affected by a enemy abilities that prevents you using your action, you will be unable to cast spells.</li>
<li> After casting a spell, a Spell Slave's activation ends (unlike what happens when your warcaster casts spells) because it has now completed both its move and its action.</li></ul></li>
<li> Spell Slaves do not pay the full cost of a spell, so are unaffected by stuff which changes the COST of a spell; such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Lamentation" title="Lamentation">Lamentation</a>. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256798-Lamentation-and-Geomancy&p=3650157&viewfull=1#post3650157" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>) or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Scaverous" title="Scaverous">Scaverous</a>'s feat (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?259625-Lord-Exhumor-Scaverous-s-Feat-Enemy-spellslaves-and-geomancy&p=3650589&viewfull=1#post3650589" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>What spells can they choose to cast</b></span>
</p>
<ul><li> <span style="color:blue">A Spell Slave cannot cast spells with a range of SELF or CTRL or with a COST more than 3, or that are an UPKEEP.</span>
<ul><li> In addition to this, a Spell Slave is heavily limited by the definition of 'Spellcaster'. Specifically:
<ol><li> <span style="color:blue">Spell Slaves can't cast spells that use the phrase "<i>Spellcaster's battlegroup</i>" because (most) spell slaves aren't in the battlegroup.</span>
<ul><li> <span style="color:blue">Exception: <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Companion" title="Companion">Companion</a> Spell Slaves (such as Deryliss) are in the battlegroup, so can.</span>(<b><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></b>)</li></ul></li>
<li> Spell Slaves cannot benefit from anything that occurs in the 'Spellcaster's CTRL area' because they don't have one. (<b><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></b>)<br/><i>For instance, a Spell Slave that casts <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Excarnate" title="Excarnate">Excarnate</a> will not be able to summon a new grunt.</i></li>
<li> Spell Slaves cannot benefit from spells that give the caster Focus. Such benefits are limited to models with the 'Focus Manipulation' rule, which only warcasters have.<br/><i>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.</i></li>
<li> Sometimes a Spell Slave can cast a cast a spell, but they will miss out on some of the benefits of the spell (as described above) </li></ol></li>
<li> A Hordes Spell Slave cannot cast animi, because they're not "spells on the warlock's spell card".</li></ul></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>How can they boost the spell</b></span>
</p>
<ul><li> You can <u>not</u> use focus that is on the warcaster to boost spells that the Spell Slave casts. (refer rulebook section on using focus to boost: only the model with focus on it can spend it, and only during its own activation)</li>
<li> Spell Slaves can only boost if they have a special rule allowing them do so - for instance, the <a href="/index.php?title=Skarlock_Thrall" title="Skarlock Thrall">Skarlock Thrall</a> can spend soul tokens on spells via its 'Strength of Death' ability.</li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Other</b></span>
</p>
<ul><li> The Spell Slave 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 Spell Slave cannot channel spells through arc nodes. You can only channel through nodes in your CTRL area, and none of the three models have a CTRL area. </li>
<li> The Spell Slave can use spells like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Annihilation" title="Annihilation">Annihilation</a> to gain enemy souls. But generally they will be unable to use the soul tokens so they will stay on the Spell Slave for the rest of the game (doing nothing).
