This expansion fixes the Warlord. So much so that he went from a mage I wouldn't touch, to my favorite mage. It also provides a wicked cool alternate warlock, who is hot as can be. Giving a mage an elemental theme is a really cool idea and I can foresee some awesome fire books being made for her. I really recommend this expansion for anyone interested in playing a Warlord or Warlock, but I don't think it provides a lot for the other mages.

2017-03-17 Initial Rating: 8.5 (March 2017) I love Mage Wars! It is currently in my list of top ten games of all time, sadly, It is also a hard game to get to the table (being only for 2 players) but I finally played Mage Wars: Forged in Fire – Spell Tome Expansion and I really liked it! I have only played with the Adramelech Warlock (she rocks!) so I cannot comment about the Warlord of the Anvil Throne, however, some friends says he fixes a lot of the issues with the previous Warlord. I need to play with him soon. Mage Wars: Forged in Fire – Spell Tome Expansion adds a small number of new traits, so if you are familiar with the game, adding this expansion adds very little complexity. It also adds lots of spells to the mix. About the Adramelech Warlock, I love how she can control fire. It is so fun to play with her :D. I’m not sure if she is stronger than the previous Warlock, I need more plays to verify but you have to attack with fire with her, or lose all her advantages and native abilities. Bottom line, Mage Wars: Forged in Fire – Spell Tome Expansion is a great expansion for the game and a must have for me. It adds two new mages and lots of spells. Current Rating: 8.5 [hr] 2022-02-09 Last year, I downgraded Mage Wars´ rating. I still love the game and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it, but it is way too long so it is very hard for it to hit the table. Due to this, my desire to play the game again isn’t as high as before so I´m also downgrading all the game´s expansions. Current Rating: 7.0

This expansion addressed the issues with the Warlord, and then some. The veteran ability of the original Warlord was a nice idea, but was not generic enough to cope with a lot of matches. While it might work well vs a Beastmaster with lots of small creatures - it's a blank ability v a Forcemaster. The new Warlord focused on boosting his own equipment (including making one a cantrip) as well as being able to boost all soldiers on the field. This is the essence of the feel of the Warlord to me - get a lot of soldiers out there and command them! On the other side, we got the new Warlock. She specialised in burning creatures - getting heavy bonuses when characters are on fire. Having played her a few times, I found her fun - but ultimately just not as good as the original Warlock. Still definitely worth playing though! The new Dark/Fire spells were OK, mostly focusing on maintaining burns on a character. The War spells were much better. Harshforge Plate being a good deterrent to anyone looking to dissolve things. The Generals Signet Ring allowed you to get over the Warlord 9 channeling and can work multiple times per round! "Akiro's Favour" and "Brace Yourself" are two amazing (and underrated) spells that people should always consider having in any book.... "Hurl Rock" is another cheap attack spell that is always well worth having. Not the best expansion they've released, but still a cracker!
