c. This I like to call my 'bow and arrow' magic ( 'missile and warhead' is a better, if unsuitable, description). The specific magic, be it Shieldbreaker, Kill Undead, or whatever, works against a 14, but ONLY once it is carried to it's target. You can KILL the undead, but can you HIT it?
Shieldbreaker: succeed in Close Combat then (as part of the same action, but INSTEAD OF any AP loss) use Shieldbreaker.
Kill Undead: same rules
Mile javelin Throw uses the reverse procedure - the magic gets your javelin a mile away, then you use Ranged Combat to actually HIT. Now, can someone tell me exactly how a Vingan can tell when an opponent is EXACTLY a mile away? Or how she GETS to the Treetops to run on them?
