Aside from irresistable force and certain abilities, when else does a miscast happen?

Maybe I am blind, but I cannot find it in my rule book at all.

That said, I now ask you all, when does a miscast happen, if it even happens outside of the situations above?

10'000 years ago, Terra was under siege. The Sons of Rogal Dorn stood firm at the gate, never letting an inch slip away so long as we drew breath. We were killed in droves defending the Emperor and his Imperium, and we killed many in turn. We defended the Emperor and his Imperium, and this is what it means to be a Fist

Miscast happens on double 6's along with IF you role on the chart after you work out the spell

the BRB only says on double 6 to cast.

individual army books give additional times that it occurs.

so you summed it up yourself. :-)

Check the BRB, pg.32, Not Enough Power. That just means it's always considered a failure just as if you didn't meet or beat the casting cost, albeit not a miscast.

DAH is right, and with the quote to boot. Furthermore, you'll have broken your concentration and won't be able to cast with that magic user again this phase (unless it was a bound attempt).

On a delicate chain at her throat, she keeps it with her to this day.”

That's what I was thinking of Red and confused it with miscasting
