There's something about lightning bolts. A few of my opponents have complained about this little spell which they see as overpowered.

The Brothermark revival (I)
In the fall of 2020 I posted 2 articles about the Brothermark army list. I concluded with the promise to write up a few armies using this list. Until this time, I haven't done this yet.
