The Staff is indeed new. It would have to be because we didn't have a PoD spell before.

That definitely did not give power dice nor was it a bound spell as I remember. Book is across the house and I'm lazy but I'm about 90% sure it let you cast with as many dice as possible... maybe.

I've heard many people say this, but IIRC the rule states that the spell is identical to RoBI except that it affects D6 MODELS - my emphasis. It does not do D6 Hits. So it is no more effective vs a Treeman than RoBI.
It's still good tho'

Is there more than one version of the BRB? I'll double check tonight, but I was reading Law of Metal last night and actually highlighted the bit I mentioned. mmmm ........

Hi all,
What I find very intriguing with the lore of Metal are the low casting values.
I'll give it a try next weekend vs. dwarfs and greenskins.

Elves in general have traditionally struggled a little vs heavy cav, especially T4 1+ save stuff. Taking the heavy cav out of an enemy's list suddenly makes it a lot easier to deal with. I would take metal vs most armies with minimum of 2 units heavy cav, but only if I had a mage with at least 3 spells. Against Brets it's a game winner, as the easy loss of even a single lance can really screw their plans.
However the new DE are so good that it is probably not as useful or necessary as it was/would have been in 6th ed.

I've been using the Lore of Metal quite a lot with my Daemons, and have found it pretty useful in the face of shooty armies. Having a spell that can shut down war machines is a very useful threat against armies like Dwarfs and Empire.
The top level spell is only really worth casting if you're facing serious amounts of armour. Distillation of Molten Silver have a fairly average casting value and a decent enough strength for most units you will encounter (Bar heavy cavalry, of course).
Transmutation of Lead also allows for some interesting combos, particularly with units like Witch Elves and Black Guard.

I think Rule of Burning Iron is easily overlooked, but is one of the best default spells available to any lore. It's very, very easy for an opponent to underestimate it and suddenly he finds that his general only has one wound left. It's a perfect spell for applying pressure. It casts cheaply, is almost always applicable, can easily draw dice, and gives you great rewards if your opponent is foolish enough to ignore it.

Just like that orc bound item. I might try out metal. But I don't understand why people like the spell that shuts down a warmachine for a turn. Especially when there's Bladewind which should work except against dwarves. Okay against dwarves metal is best, and sometimes wood elves, but who else?
People say "insert problem" but it's better to say "insert improvement"

Shooting them. The number of power dice you have to invest to take down flesh hounds is just inviting a miscast...
(To get a spell past their MR you're looking at using 4, preferably 5, dice to stand a chance of taking them down)
