Riddled with the power of change, the standard's design shifts constantly throughout the battle. Energy and power growl through it and when an enemy unit approaches, the energy is unleashed in a fearsome roar. The standard contains a magic spell which may be cast once per battle in any assault phase, after models have moved but before attacks are resolved. Any wounds inflicted count towards the combat result. The spell inflicts 2D6 S6, AP 4 hits, which may be distributed on any enemy models within 6" of the standard. No enemy model may be allocated two hits until all enemy models within 6" have been allocated a hit.
