Who rolls spells first?

Might not matter most of the time, but it does with drain magic...

IIRC you should roll when you deploy the character. Therefore, whoever puts down characters first should roll for spells first.

Just checked and I am correct. See the 'Lores of Magic' reference section at the back of the BRB (I think this is page 90?). There is a bit at the bottom right about it.

Never met anyone who plays it that way though.

Yeah neither have I and tbh it rarely matters unless you are looking to counter a specific spell with another i.e. earthblood with flaming sword or something.
