{{OGL Top}} =Magic Overview= A spell is a one-time magical effect. Spells come in two types: arcane (cast by [[SRD:Bard|bard]]s, [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerer]]s, and [[SRD:Wizard|wizard]]s) and divine (cast by [[SRD:Cleric|cleric]]s, [[SRD:Druid|druid]]s, and experienced [[SRD:Paladin|paladin]]s and [[SRD:Ranger|ranger]]s). Some spellcasters select their spells from a limited list of spells known, while others have access to a wide variety of options. Most spellcasters prepare their spells in advance—whether from a spellbook or through devout prayers and meditation— while some cast spells spontaneously without preparation. Despite these different ways that characters use to learn or prepare their spells, when it comes to casting them, the spells are very much alike. Cutting across the categories of arcane and divine spells are the eight schools of magic. These schools represent the different ways that spells take effect. *[[SRD:Arcane Spells|Arcane Spells]] *[[SRD:Arcane Spells and Armor|Arcane Spells and Armor]] *[[SRD:Casting Spells|Casting Spells]] *[[SRD:Divine Spells|Divine Spells]] *[[SRD:Familiars|Familiars]] *[[SRD:School Specialization|School Specialization]] *[[SRD:Spells|Spells]] *[[SRD:Spell Descriptions|Spell Descriptions]] {{SRD Footer}} [[Category:Magic|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]
