Enhanced Advanced HQ Spells

[Stabsam]

I am currently playing the enhanced advanced HQ with its spell rules i am allowed to use the healing speel max 3 times in combat before i need a warptest and i think i never need a warptest in exploration phases. So i feel i never run out of heal with 1 Elffightermage which i play as Paladin.
Do you somehow limit spells in your houserules or how do you handle it?

I don't have Advanced HeroQuest (sorry), but welcome to the forums!

You can easily apply the tremor rule on each phase. I first thought this was mentioned like that in the rules.
But after rechecking it seems to only apply during combat phase.

Copy paste from the enhanced rulebook:

Tremors in the Warp
In the midst of battle a Wizard can easily become mentally
exhausted, and the insidious and treacherous powers of the chaos
empyrean are quick to capitalize on any weakness. Until play has
once again returned to exploration turns, for every attempted spell
after the initial three, the Wizard must make a Tremors in the Warp
test with progressively difficult odds of success. The depleted
Wizard must roll a D12 for each subsequent attempt after the third.
On the fourth attempt, he must roll a 4 or better to succeed or
something has gone terribly wrong. On the fifth attempt things go
awry on any roll less than 5; on the six attempt he fails on a roll of
less than 6, and so forth. When the Wizard fails this test he must
then roll on the table below to find out the results and may not cast
a spell this turn. The risk is always great but obviously there is a
point at which the Wizard will simply be unable to cast anymore
spells

Each spell does cost you quite some components..
So there's always the cost of healing..

Next campaign I might just apply the Tremor rule on each phase, both exploration and combat.

Enhanced Advanced HQ's rulebook is assuming you have enough materials for each expedition. And i thought the compounds purpose is only to measure if 2 are needed the mage may not move and cast in the same turn- spells with 2 compounds can only be cast if the mage stays stationary.
Maybe its different in the original book. I didnt read it yet.

You are right! That does make it quite overpowered in an exploration phase. I guess I would go for the Tremors rule in the exploration phase then.
In the basic game you actually have to buy each component to cast a spell (25g each)
