Luck is a runic spell that improves a caster’s luck in combat.

Description[edit]

The exact workings of the Luck spell are never made clear, although this cantrip is said to improve its caster’s chances in a melee – most likely allowing either a greater chance of landing a blow or a lessened chance of being struck. It appears to be functionally similar to the spell, Curse, which thwarts the fortunes of nearby enemies.

Lore[edit]

“ In combat, this spell improves the odds in the caster’s favor.

“ Luck reduces the attack skill of all opponents by 3, which is significant in lower-level combat, but should be replaced by Valor as soon as possible.
