Firestorm of Tzeentch and Devastating Sorcery question

[Raven1]

I finally picked up a copy of Ritual of the Damned and was reading through the book and I had a question about the interaction between devastating sorcery and Firestorm of Tzeentch.

 

So Devastating Sorcery add +1 mortal wound to any psychic power which causes at least one mortal wound sound simple enough.

 

Firestorm of Tzeentch causes a mortal wound on a roll of "6" where you get to roll 9 dice.  So where does the +1 mortal wound come into play.

 

1. On a successful cast as the psychic power causes mortal wounds?

 

2. On at least one "6" you get +1 mortal wound?

 

3. On every "6" you get +1 mortal wound?

 

I would wager its the second one, but I what do I know?

It's the second, as the rule stipulates "at least one mortal wound" so it only triggers once for each power :tu:

Well not quite. It's triggered on each unit, not each power.

 

So Astral Blast: It goes off, ripping into a target unit (add 1 mortal wound). Then it hits a few units within an aura (add 1 Mortal wound to each other unit hit.)

 

Think of it per unit. So with your example of Firestorm, you're only hitting one unit. Just add 1 MW.

That's what I meant yes, the "at least one" is the part here :tu: When in doubt assume the weaker interpretation and you're probably not wrong (and people will be more happy to accept it!).
