Last sunday I was playing against a dwarfs player. During his turn he also rolled 2D6 for Power dice. Like that he could dispell my remains into play spell. He said that no where in the RB it is stated that you need to have wizards to roll those 2D6 at the start of the magic phase. Only to channel and to cast spells you need to have wizards. Is this correct? Thx in advance, because when I play against him the next time at least I ill know if he is correct or not (and when he is not, I can point it out to him). If he is correct, then I can also do it when I play with a priest free list ;-).
If an army does not contain a wizard, then that army gets to use the dispel dice from the dispel pool, and since his army is Dwarf, they get a "special" +2 to their dispel roll because of their natural magic resistance. The difference between having a sorceror and not for dispelling is you get to add the sorceror's level to the total score. (page 35 in the BRB). Remains in Play spells can be dispelled on subsquent magic phases by the other player on his turn, but using the original casting value of the spell, NOT the enemy wizards casting roll.
Yes, you can use power dice generated in your turn to dispell remains in play spells. even if you do not have a wizard or cast spells that turn.
I play against dwarves a lot. Dwarves don't have anything better to do with their power dice than get rid of remains in play spells so I usually pick lores with low reliance on remains in play spells. I especially like Light and Shadow.
