We played a 3.5k battle with a 700pt Monster & Magic allotment. The central alter represented the “Eye of the Storm” at the beginning of every magic phase it would scatter the distance of an artilery dice and face a random dirrection, determined by a scatter dice. We would then flick the Lore Ascendancy meeter and change the result by D3 if we chose, then roll a D6 to determin the random spell that will be automatically cast by the alter which would affect the nearest unit w/in range.
