Editing Cataclysm

[[File:Icon_wh_main_lore_cataclysm.png]]'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a unique lore of [[magic]] introduced in ''[[Total War: Warhammer III]]''.

== Overview ==
=== The Realm of Chaos ===
Battles fought in the [[Realm of Chaos (region)|Realm of Chaos]] have a chance of becoming Storm of Magic battles. In these battles, magical reserves are never depleted, and one Lore of Magic can become Ascendant, granting a Cataclysm spell depending on what Lore ascends. To use the Cataclysm spell, other spells must be cast by either side in order to fill the Magical Charge. When full, the player may use the spell. Once a Cataclysm spell is used, another one will be chosen.

When a Lore of Magic become Ascendant, the following boons are granted:
*[[File:icon_wh_main_lore_beasts.png|38px]][[Lore of Beasts]]
