Spell-like Abilities
Psychic Manifestation and Phenomena All abilities such as calling flame to hand are manifested through the corrupting and chaotic powers of the Immaterium. The Warp-fueled energies are considered both magical and psionic, as they are also fueled by the psyker's willpower. Items and spells that protect from magical attacks and effects also affect Ludo's psyker abilities. Be aware, however, that the presence of warp-manifested magic slowly taints and degrades protective wards.
