The Field is Lava

The Field is Lava adds lava that slowly spreads across the field as the game continues. It also introduces Wingardium Leviosa, Aguamenti and Glacius as new game mechanics related to lava on the field.

Lava

Lava will only appear on the field in between the two Keeper Zones. Lava appears on the field in any space that a character ends their movement on. Once the character leaves that space, the lava occupies the space and that space can no longer be stepped in.

Passes can be made freely across lava, however only within the maximum range of the passing character. If the maximum distance for a pass or yeet is occupied by lava, the pass may not be completed.

Lakitu

Each team has up to two opportunities in a game to use a Lakitu to save a character from falling into the lava. In the event that a character falls into the lava, a Lakitu can be used to prevent that character from falling off their broom and is instead placed back on the space they were on prior to falling into the lava. A Lakitu cannot be used to save a Seeker from falling into the lava.

Teams that subscribe to Witch Weekly will receive a bonus Lakitu per game.

Wingardium Leviosa

Lava can only be crossed using Wingardium Leviosa. When attempting to cross lava, roll 1d6 – if you roll greater than the number of spaces of lava being crossed, you may successfully cross the lava using one space of movement. If you are unsuccessful, the character falls off their broom and returns to hoops. The space the character occupied prior to falling into the lava immediately becomes covered in lava as well.

You may only cross lava in a straight line, and certain actions may or may not be completed while crossing lava (see full rules).

Aguamenti

Aguamenti is used to shoot a line of water directly ahead of any character on your team. This line is 5 spaces long and removes all lava from those spaces.

Aguamenti can be used once by each team per game.

Glacius

Glacius cools a space of lava, extinguishing and removing the lava from it and all spaces adjacent to it. This space can be anywhere on the field and does not need to be adjacent to or occupied by any of your own characters.

Glacius can be used once by each team per game.
