__TOC__
 
Magic is one of the most powerful forces in the world, allowing characters to heal the wounded, protect their allies, call upon divine blessings, or unleash devastating arcane power.
 
Characters gain access to magic through their class, with different classes drawing upon different sources of power. Some classes focus entirely on spellcasting, while others combine magic with martial combat, craftsmanship, or spiritual guidance.


Below are the complete spell lists for Arcane and Divine Magic.
This page explains the different types of magic, how spells are learned, and how Spell Points are used to build your character.


Each spellbook contains all available spells, including their effects, costs, prerequisites, and restrictions.
== Types of Magic ==


<div class="wizlords-spellbooks-desktop">
There are two primary forms of magic available to players: Divine Magic and Arcane Magic.

Arcane Magic is drawn from natural forces, magical knowledge, universal energies, or innate power. Arcane spellcasters learn to shape and manipulate these forces to achieve a wide variety of effects.

Divine Magic is granted through faith, spiritual connection, ancestral powers, or the blessings of higher forces. Divine casters often focus on healing, protection, support, and guidance, though some are capable of wielding powerful offensive miracles.
|title=Blessed Weapon
 
|id=Blessed_Weapon
Divine Magic is commonly used to restore health, protect allies from harm, remove negative effects, and strengthen companions in battle.
|meta=
 
<div>'''Type:''' Progressive</div>
== Learning Spells ==
<div>'''Cost:'''
 
* Lv1: 1 Spell Point
Characters learn spells by spending Spell Points.
* Lv2: +1 Spell Point
 
* Lv3: +1 Spell Point
Spell Points represent a character's magical training, knowledge, and mastery of supernatural powers. These points are used to purchase spells from a class's spell list.
</div>
 
<div>'''Casting Time:''' 30 seconds</div>
Each magical class begins with a number of Spell Points at character creation, allowing players to customise their abilities and create a spell list that suits their preferred playstyle.
<div>'''Range:''' Touch</div>
 
<div>'''Chant Words:''' "Blessed Weapon"</div>
Some races may also grant additional known spells or magical abilities. These spells may often be improved by investing additional Spell Points into them.
<div>'''Representation:''' White Weapon Sock</div>
 
=== Spell Points ===
 
At character creation, players receive a number of Spell Points based on their class.
 
These points are spent to purchase spells from that class's spell list.
 
As characters gain Experience through play, they may spend that Experience to acquire additional Spell Points, allowing them to learn new spells or improve existing ones.
 
Spell Points are intended to represent a character's growing magical knowledge and power as they continue their journey.
 
'''Spell Point Rules:'''
 
* Your class determines how many starting Spell Points you receive during character creation.
* All starting Spell Points must be spent during character creation.
* Any unused starting Spell Points are lost.
* As characters gain Experience, they may purchase additional Spell Points to learn new spells or improve existing ones.
* Purchased Spell Points are retained until spent.
 
=== Recording Known Spells ===
 
All selected spells must be recorded in the character's spell book.
 
A character may only cast spells they know, and all known spells should be clearly listed on their character sheet or spell book for reference during play.
 
== Spell Types ==
 
Not all spells are learned in the same way. Some spells grow stronger as more Spell Points are invested into them, while others are purchased as complete abilities.
 
There are two categories of spells: '''Progressive Spells''' and '''Fixed-Cost Spells'''.
 
=== Progressive Spells ===
 
Progressive Spells become more powerful as additional Spell Points are invested into them.
 
Each level must be purchased in order, beginning at Level 1.
 
A caster may only use the highest level of the spell they have unlocked.
