At the start of every Magic phase, the Black Coach can absorb magical energy. Roll the dice in the power dice pool, and those generated for any wizard within 6 of a Black Coach. Any of these dice that score a 6 are absorbed by the Black Coach and are discarded. If there is more than one Black Coach on the battlefield, or a particular wizard is within 6" of more than one Black Coach, randomly determine which Black Coach gains the benefit of each absorbed dice each dice can only affect one Black Coach.
Each dice absorbed by the Black Coach permanently increases the Black Coach's abilities, as detailed on the Evocation of Death Effects Chart below. All of these increases are cumulative with each other.
