Had a bit of an argument about this today.

The Casket of Souls was always counted as an Incantation (Not a bound item as it cast on 2d6 like any other incantation.)

My question is, if the casting of the Casket is Dispelled (Either by dice or by scroll), is it possible to use the Hieratic Jar to try and cast the Casket's incantation again?

Hoping someone has an answer and an explanation either way.

Thanks for your time.

If it counts as an incantation, and the HJ allows you to cast an incantation again, then yes it should be allowed.

I would say that doesn't work as the jar states the priest may use an additional incantation and the casket is not a priest.

After reading the item entry again it all depends on how the casket is ruled. Is it part of the priest as it is an upgrade to him or is it it's own thing since it's a warmachine?

Didnt realise it specified "the priest" - the casket is a warmachine and so is categorically NOT the Priest, so it cannot be used on the Casket.

The casket is NOT counted as a warmachine, it's an upgrade for a character as it is placed when you place the character.

Incorrect:

TK FAQ. Casket of Souls, Unit Type: War Machine.

I would suggest having a look at the errata before continuing - every item that works this way is now a warmachine, e.g. anvil.
