Hmmm. The current AB3 file is a mix of old and new rules. In the original rulebook:

Second Sign is cast on 5+
Forked Lightning and Uranon's Thunderbolt have unlimited range
Comet is cast on 10+ and does 2d6 Str 5 hits.

In the updated list:

Second Sign is cast on 6+
Forked Lightning and Uranon's Thunderbolt have 24" range
Comet is cast on 11+ and does 2d6 Str 4 hits.

The current datafile uses the new Second Sign, the old Forked Lightning/Thunderbolt and a mix old and new comet, depending on whether you look at the roster entry or the unit details.

My view is that AB should reflect the new spell lists as they are the ones accepted in tournaments (and by every Warhammer player I've fought against recently). Plus the release notes for the latest AB3 datafile says it is using the new spell lists...
