7th Ed. casting spells

[Walgis]

ok didnt find my answer in faq so im asking here.
if wizard is in CC can he cast any spells? that is i fuond a rule where he cant cast magical missiles but theres no word about o ther type of spell. in logic they cant becouse theyre fighting and if they try to cast something they would be killed easaly.
plz answer me

A wizard cannot cast a spell INTO cc (unless it says specifically ya can), or a magic missile whilst in CC OR into CC.

Being in CC also blocks LOS, unless your a large target, like a slaan or an engine priest.

Note: A slaan has exeption to the magic missile rule whilst in a unit of temple guard.

Hope this helps, its a bit complicated.

this i understand but there is spell witch dont require los. can these spell be cast while in CC?
i played a game where a chaos sorcerer casted infernal gateway while he was in CC

Yes, if it doesn't require line of sight and is not a magic missile, then the mage can cast it even if it is in close combat.

 

[Walgis]

oh well if thats the rules. i imagen a mage trying to cast a spell and *crack* goes his skull when a sword strikes it

It would be cool if the opponent got a free attack with anybody that is in contact with the mage that tries to cast a spell during the magic phase.
