hey guys,
i took in your below C&C and re did the magic and rules, basically the magic table is now the average of every wizard in the main rule book e.g. saruman, gandalf, ringwraiths etc and i added 2 for example the average for chill soul was 4+ and i added 2 to make it cast on 6+, hopefully this means that my lesser wizards are in no way the same league as saruman etc. i also changed the signature spell to make it harder to cast the sig spell (not sorceorus blast on 2+
), please comment as much as you did before it really help and was great, as before if u want the PDf of this gimme a buzz and i will email it to you for free!
thanks guys
The below characters represent unnamed wizards in the LOTR universe who have been trained under the watchful eyes of the many well known wizards throughout middle earth. These wizards have no actual magical powers; rather they have harnessed the gifts of lesser talismans, which by a regime of harsh and constant training has allowed them to become wizards of sorts.
Below is a list of armies in LOTR and where each wizard is able to ally himself. Wizards may only ally into these factions e.g. a good wizard cannot go into Angmar.

Rivindell, the Grey Havens, Eregion, Lothlorien, Thranduil's Halls
Dwarf Runecaller
Durin's Folf, Khazad-dum, Erebor.
Highly respected and often renowned throughout the land of man, human mages range from powerful battle wizards fighting the enemy in the midst of combat to subdued healers who aid wounded and care for the needy.

Rules
Lesser Mages:
These wizards are only a shadow of many more powerful wizards such as Gandalf and Saruman; unlike these more powerful wizards they have not got an unlimited supply of willpower, however through their talismans and staffs they have harnessed a minor level of willpower regeneration. To represent this when a wizard reaches 0 willpower they may attempt to regain one single point of will power. This ability is done when a spell would normally be cast, the player must roll a D6 and on a score of 5+ they regain 1 point of will next turn, this can only be done when the wizard reaches 0 will. If a your staff is broken spell is successful on any of these characters this rule ceases to exist!
Your Staff is Broken against runes:
Runes can be broken in the same way that staffs and other talismans can be broken. If affected by this spell then a dwarf rune smith will not be able to regenerate will power as above, but may still use his runes in the same way a wizard can still cast spells.
Will:
Wizards have a complex and powerful minds; this gift allows them to learn at an exponential rate. To represent this skill they have attained they may buy and extra point of will power for 10pts up to a maximum of 5. When a wizard has 5 will power the score needed for his lesser mage roll is reduced to 4+.
Woodland creature:
Elves only see Legolas entry in main rulebook.
Signature spell:
A signature spell is the wizard first learnt spell, this is a spell they have master to an almost perfection and can cast it with relative ease. Every wizard has signature spell you may choose a single spell on the below table to suit the wizards background or your own personal preference. Any character who uses a signature spell adds +1 to the dice score needed to use.
Learning the will of magic:
Magic is truly mysterious and difficult to predict, however seers and mages have learnt this mysterious force to a very limited extent. To represent this skill a mage may pick two extra spell on the table below along with his signature spell, these spells are then written on the characters profile:
Name of spell Dice roll to use on
Aura of command (not evil sorcerer) 4+
Aura of dismay 5+
Black dart (evil sorcerer only) 6+
Blinding light (not evil sorcerer) 4+
Chill soul 6+
Command/compel 5+
Drain courage 4+
Fury(Evil sorcerer only) 5+
Natures wrath(not evil sorcerer) 6+
Immobilize/transfix 4+
Panic steed(cannot be used if mounted) 4+
Renew 5+
Sap will 5+
Sorcerous blast 6+
Strengthen will 5+
Terrifying aura 4+
Your staff is broken 5+
Dwarven rune craft
Dwarves do not use magic; rather they inscribe powerful materials such as granite and steel with ancient symbols and insignia which in turn cause a magical affect boosting themselves and others around them. Dwarves do not roll on any table; however they may purchase the following runes as if normal equipment. The purchased rune go in the associated area e.g. Rune of Battle (see profile). These runes are used like normal magic spells; dwarf runes may be activated at ANY time during the game, but a rune can only be used once if successfully cast. (dwarves follow all the normal rules for wizards e.g. lesser mages and will):
