Bromerican Man

I'm in, I'll be playing Neverborn. My schedule changes from week to week and this month I am on day shift so most of my nights should be open, although I can't stay up too late!

Thank you all for your responses! This has cleared much up.

Hello Everyone, I've been a long time miniature gamer with my favorite game being Mordheim. An employee at the local game store back home told me to check Malifaux out; I am really impressed with the miniatures and style of the game. I have ordered a few boxed sets so my friends and I can get a few games in hopefully soon. Anyway, since we don't really have anyone to help us understand the rules I just have a few quick questions regarding the mechanics. Firstly, I am a little confused regarding spell casting. I have noticed on the stat cards that many of the casting costs are over 12. Am I correct in understanding that the only way to cast these spells is with the use of a soulstone? If so, that would mean that these spells can only be cast several times per encounter? Also, after the casting cost is a suit symbol for the spell which I am assuming is the required suit that must be present to cast the spell. On some however there is a suit and then following it the same suit but greyed out. I have no Idea what this means... Secondly, I am noticing a symbol in the range stat for some spells that is a picture of a man surrounded by a black bubble. There is also the same symbol but surrounded by a white bubble. I can't seem to find in the rulebook where these are explained... Thank you any help would be greatly appreciated!
