Being able to make use of the teleportation ability is obviously quite potent in battlefield manipulation. The sudden movement capabilities of being able to instantly travel anywhere on the map is a huge benefit to any army. At first, troops will only be able to move anywhere with this ability. But further exploration into this ability will also allow the troops to instantly attack, sure to cause significant disruption on the battlefield.

Having a lot of magical knowledge from Grimoires is sure to come in handy. For this reason, Tzeentch is able to directly control the amount of magic in a region using the Winds of Magic. First, players must fully control a province in order to manipulate the magical levels by increasing or decreasing it. This is vital for balancing magical energies during battle.
