Default Blessing Effects and National/Theme Starting Spells

I wonder if we could compile a list of the starting spells or if someone already has for every race/theme.

It would help me while I think about making pretenders/race combinations when I don't have access to the game at work and my mind is bored

If not; I can compile one. I know Sunraybe's site has the beginnings of it; but is there a compiled list?

If not I will start and finish one.

Hah! Only took me an hour, I was too curious.

Could I get this stickied, or maybe a thread called "Manual Errata" and post it in there?

Seems some races got the shaft

Just curious as to why none of the generic themes (Especially say ... Golem Cult or Water Cult) didn't get at least a token initial spell. Like Mechanical Men, or others? They do cost 50 Design points.

You might want to add.............

DISCLAIMER: Special maps have an option to change starting spells for use with that map.

Hmmm something along that line. Alot of the lists might want such a disclaimer. Starting troops, starting sites, starting spells.

>Vanheim (Midgard) - Ghost Wolves (3 Air)

This is odd considering that they don't start with air-3 mages.

Exactly. But it's there. They can cast it regardless I think, but it fatigues them mucho grande.
