Arcane Spells

Since there are a lot of spells, these tables allow you to look through them like in game (all/arcane/divine, or sorted by groups).

In the spell casting panel, cast times longer than 1 turn are rounded up or down to the nearest whole turn. In this article, cast times are displayed without any casting speed enhancements.

Spells can be combined together to achieve a greater effect. For more information on this see the Spell Combos page.
