Armed Melee

Any Melee

Red Army Revolutionary Formation: This a formation of carefully and perfectly choreographed martial artists moving in unison. If all members of the formation possess this special ability and the formation leader succeeds in a command roll, the formation ignores all normal formation penalties.

Paradisium Battlefield Magic (échelon bronze)

Note regarding Paradisium spells: Many field magic spells are rated in three levels; échelon Bronze, Argent and Or (bronze, silver, gold) in increasing grade. Generally corrupted in the Imperial-speaking galaxy; for example Feu D'Armé (échelon argent) is known as 'Silver Fire' not because it actually throws silver fire, but because it is the silver-ranked spell.

Feu D'Armé (échelon bronze)
The 'Army's Fire' was taught to all Paradisium mages that served in the Armé de la Republique. The lowest level (échelon bronze) is simple and easy to cast and the techniques used have been incessantly copied in the 2500 years since they were formalized.
Init: 0/+2R
Attack: 8+
Range: 10
Duration: Instant

Instant Foxhole

Dragon's Teeth
A much larger and more impressive version of Instant Foxholes, the Dragon's Teeth spell creates a number of large stone or metal spikes that erupt out of the ground, effectively baring the path to pursuing vehicles or organized troops. Some enterprising mages use it to provide cover for friendly infantry.
Terrain becomes very difficult to travel through.

Sauve qui Peux
Commonly used to evacuate the wounded from a battlefield, this spell connects two mages; the caster and the anchor. It allows the caster to teleport living beings from his/her vicinity to that of the anchor. A variation is used for logistics purposes, instead teleporting inanimate 'dead' matter.
