Nice review, as always! The force cage box could also be used as a gelatinous cube, in a pinch. I feel that Mordenkainen's sword and Leomund's hidden chest are unnecessary additions to this set though, as chests are dime a dozen, and the first set of spell effects had a sword mini(although on fire), and Dungeon of the Mad Mage had flying sword minis. I hope the Almiraj is released as an actual prepainted mini as well, and not just a spell effect. :)
Indeed. Though I do like that the chest has a lid with a hinge on it. That seems special to me. I think the sword was already sculpted so it was an inexpensive thing to add. Good call on the gelatinous cube. And yeah, since they've made a mold for the Almiraj, I bet we'll see a regular mini for it soon. :-) -Theo
True, there aren't that many chests with functional lids, and even if it wasn't already sculpted, the sword would probably be one of the easier ones to sculpt anyway. I don't mind that they're there, it just feels a bit unnecessary to me. But if I get this set, I'll probably use at least the sword. The chest is more likely to just be used as a chest, or not at all. ;) But yeah, really hoping for an almiraj! I'd also love to see a jackalope. So cute! :D
It's really cool they released these, I can't help but notice that they always use mastiffs ( not a hound in any stretch of the imagination) when needing a model for a dog
Great review once again! Man this set feels somehow even more than the previous set. I dunno why but it seems like you get more pieces for your money. Great to see so many classic spells I have known since 2E finally given shape and form! The translucent Mordenkainen's Sword and Hound are excellent. And I guess this means Halaster can summon THAT many swords??? That's scary. The force cages are excellent. I gotta try whether I can cage a Huge mini under the bigger one, like a Frogemoth! The Almiraj is adorable. And you are right, it healing outside battle seems cheap, almost 4E unbalanced where the characters (even fighters) could just heal X times per day after encounters non-magically. Best to keep this spell to just combat use, I feel -it's like a less powerful version of Regeneration.
That’s the dragonborn Arkhan the Cruel and Krull, death cleric tortle, from the upcoming Icons of the Realms: Arkhan the Cruel and The Dark Order set for which you can see the review at th-cam.com/video/9Wxhr4bNz9c/w-d-xo.html
I didn't realize this set came with so many spell effects. Looks like a great set.
It's definitely a full box! -Theo
Looks cool. I like how the Bones of the Earth can double as rough pillars.
That's true! They were well as terrain too. -Theo
Need some Dancing lights I'm always ready to go and Rave in a Cavern.....I really like the look of these.
Cavern rave sounds incredible! -Theo
Dancing lights came out in a previous set, as the shape of a guy made of lights.
@@miker1924 yeah I know great little mini itself
I really want that faithful hound, such a fun spell for my Artificer to use
He's a good doggy! -Theo

Theo’s got you on the froghemoth instagram.com/p/B8NLff9BAkv/ -Grady
the sign did say "Beware of magical dog! "...
Woof! -Theo
Some of them seemed to simple, but the are very good to better visualization of the spells, overall i liked the set!
Yeah, I'm quite fond of this set too. :-) -Theo
Dark caverns or raves?
Good thing raves are my bards favored terrain!
I'm not too crazy about the solid force cage. but the rest look fun to use!
Heh, it's pretty much a plastic box, but at least it's the correct size! -Theo
Take my money!
It's a great set! -Theo
Hope to see blade barrier some time
That would be interesting! -Theo
I minda want them xD some look quite good
Yeah, it's a good looking set! -Theo
Or cats claw I love it
What are the two mini/figures sitting on you two decks of many next to you?
That would be Mini Rytlock and Mini Baby Aurene Funko Pops from Guild Wars 2. -Theo
Awesome effects
What’s the price point on it?
Wall of fire
Blade barrier
Black tentacles
MSRP appears to be $49.99 USD but I’m seeing multiple online retailers listing it under $40 for preorders. -Grady
The template set is not currently linked in the "I" cards.
Thank you! I'll get that fixed! -Theo
What minis are shown in the box at 5:28?
That’s the dragonborn Arkhan the Cruel and Krull, death cleric tortle, from the upcoming Icons of the Realms: Arkhan the Cruel and The Dark Order set for which you can see the review at th-cam.com/video/9Wxhr4bNz9c/w-d-xo.html
Why put of all the spells would they put Mordenkainen's Sword in this?!! Ugh
What spells would you like to see? -Theo
