======Luck======


{{:abilities:luck.png?nolink|Not to be confused with the Fortune/Luck Scale}} Luck is a powerful trait that gives units a 75% chance to evade any damage from external sources that would otherwise kill them. 

Luck is largely an **[[Astral]]** buff, given by:

     * The ??Personal Luck?? [[Magic|spell]], which requires {{path>S1}} and only [[Alteration]] 1 but only affects the caster,
     * The ??Luck?? spell, which requires {{path>S1}} and Alteration 3, affecting one tile of friendly units,
     * The ??Battle Fortune?? spell, which requires {{path>S3}} and Alteration 6, affecting 5 tiles of friendly units for {{gems>1S}},
     * The ??Will of the Fates?? spell, which requires {{path>S4}} and Alteration 8, affecting all friendly units for {{gems>4S}},
     * Several [[Items|Magic Items]], which only your Commanders can use,
     * And the Luck [[Blesses|Blessing]], which requires {{path>S9}} Bless points and {{scales>L2}} on your Dominion [[scales]], and which effects all of your Blessed units while your [[pretender|Pretender]] is awake and alive.
     
     
[[Undead]] and [[Inanimate]]s are unaffected by luck. In addition, a unit with {{abilities:cursed_luck.png?nolink}}[[Cursed Luck]] temporarily does not benefit from Luck. This effect can be caused by the {{abilities:fateweaving.png?nolink}}  [[Fateweaving]] [[Bless]], Luck's counterpart.
     
Luck is amazing to have on chaff (small frontline troops who you don't count on living) and is a decent layer of protection for your weaker Commanders against ranged attacks. You shouldn't press your Luck too hard, though.
