One of the better-known fire sorceresses is Sienna Fuegonasus from the co-op slashers Warhammer: Vermintide 1 and 2. Her fiery temper has landed her in trouble, which is why she now finds herself blazing through hordes of Skaven and other vermin.
Ghur, the Brown Wind
The last of the eight Winds of Magic is Ghur, the Brown Wind or Amber Wind. It is the magical essence of beasts and wild places beyond all civilization. The wind itself is like a beast with claws and teeth. Ghur is strongest in the wilderness, in deep forests, on high mountains, or in remote swamps.
Wizards of the Empire who tap into Ghur are also called Amber Wizards. They often adorn themselves with the skulls and bones of animals, or wear fur and feathers, as these attract the wind. They also draw strength from totems of wild predators.
This wind forms the basis for the Lore of Beasts. It focuses on awakening the beast within and thus making individuals stronger. It also allows for the summoning of various beasts.
In addition to these 8 schools of magic, there are also others. The Chaos Dwarfs use the lore of their god Hashut and vampires use that of… well, vampires. Some wizards are powerful enough to master multiple lores of magic simultaneously – and one even knows them all: Here are the 7 most powerful wizards in Warhammer Fantasy and why they couldn’t destroy – or save – the world.
The wind also plays an important role in alchemy, which in the world of Warhammer Fantasy is more than just quackery. The most powerful wizard of the Empire is, by the way, a master in the Lore of Metal.
Hysh, the White Wind
Hysh is the most commonly occurring Wind of Magic in the Old World, but also the hardest to control. It is the lightest of the winds and rises very high into the sky, allowing it to spread across the entire world. Furthermore, it effortlessly penetrates solid material.
The wind resonates with the color white as well as with sunlight, mirrors, lenses, and harmonious sounds such as song. The wind remains almost invisible, making it very difficult to manipulate.
The Lore of Light uses the magic of Hysh to generate light, but also to break illusions, instill new courage into hearts, and even to banish Chaos and its demons. This makes Hysh one of the most useful winds in the fight against Chaos.
A powerful weapon that makes use of this wind is the Luminarium of Hysh. It is a type of laser cannon that focuses the wind with a lens and turns it into a destructive projectile.
Chamon, the Golden Wind
Chamon is a heavy and particularly dense wind that is attracted to metal like a magnet. This effect is particularly strong with gold, which is why wizards who work with Chamon often stock up on a lot of gold.
Experienced wizards can see this wind. To some, it appears as a kind of yellow haze near the ground, while others see it as golden flakes settling on objects and individuals. The most powerful gold wizards appear to others almost like living statues made of metal, simply because they attract so much Chamon.
The Golden Wind is the wind of transformation and purification and is the source of power for the Lore of Metal. It can be used both defensively and offensively – for example, to cloak allies in a protective mantle of magic, or to turn enemies into statues.
This wind forms the basis for the Lore of Beasts. It focuses on awakening the beast within and thus making individuals stronger. It also allows for the summoning of various beasts.
