Spell List Part One (Alpha 0.1)

Spells in Quests of Change come in a variety of forms and can be used in and out of combat based on the spell. Each spell dictates which classes are capable of learning that spell, if it's a one-handed or two-handed action, and if the spell requires additional time to cast. Spells that require additional time to cast can usually not be used within combat. It should be noted that characters are only capable of learning spells whose MP costs don't exceed their maximum MP.

Unless specified otherwise, the way to calculate a spell's damage is to take the spell's total damage (mind + rolled damage) - the target's resolve. Like weapons, each spell has its own accuracy dice.

These are some examples of spells commonly used by early level spellcasters. New spells will be added to the game's ever-growing spell list several times a month.

(Spells shown are listed alphabetically. While these Alpha 0.1 versions of spells only state their mechanical uses, flavorful descriptions for each of these spells will be added at a later date. Additionally, as these are early alpha versions of spells, damage and MP costs of every spell listed is subject to change.)
