Given that GW are british I would expect the UK version to be earlier. The american rule book longer and clarifies certain sections and explains them better

Yes, that was my first thought as well... Seems strange that the initial translation would leave that detail on those spells out...

And another quest completed, more questions arose lol:

When monsters defend, they need to roll black shields. But what if a spell card says that a monster may roll X combat dice to defend against that spell (such as the sleeping spell and the fireball), and for each shield rolled, it negates 1 damage or cancels the spell. Does that mean ANY shield, or only black shields? It doesn't say anything about defending against spells in the rulebook, as that just says "see spell card for explanation", and the spell card doesn't clarify whether it's only black shields or any shield. I suspect the same rules apply as with regular combat damage, but what do you guys normally do?
