The Lore of Wild is a decent lore that synergizes well with the strength of the Beastmen.

Bestial Surge is good for the vigour boost that keeps your units at fighting effectiveness and the boost to charge bonus does not hurt either.
This gives incentive to casting cheap spells like Viletide and Devolve to keep triggering the bonus.
One of the more notable spells is Call of the Wild, which gives the player a summonable Cygor, this is useful for having the option to have a long range artillery piece or another monster in the middle if a fight.
