As the magic rules only regulate spells that causes hits on the unit, and the warmachine rules dont really say you only can hit the crew in close combat this spell is hard to understand. I second the motion for a FaQ.
But would it be so wrong to consider the spell as one model with a base that tutches the whole target unit? And go from there to decide who gets hit where. As the spell prevents you from using it as a character killer it seems valid to think that it could be used as a killer for anything special that isnt a character. Like a warmachine or something like that.
As dark magic doesnt have a 2d6 magic missile i dont think bladewind is worhtless against normal units. If you target it against a ws 3 or worse unit it will average about the same wounds as a fieryblast, so it have a place in the lore. It just would be nice if it was better than a 2d6 magic missile as it is the no 4 spell.
