All Arcanum Spells (complete)
| Spoiler |
|---|
| Arcanum spells are quite powerful and rely on the Arcanum skill. You need to find spellbooks to learn these spells - they cannot be learned on levelup. Scribing Arcanum or Eldritch spellbooks can drive the scriber insane, which can be fixed with the Sane Mind spell or with enough sleep afterwards. |
| Rainbow Rays: 3d6 damage per level + random effects vs. one group of up to 6 enemies. |
| Recharge: Recharges items, eg. magic wand charges. |
| Matter clone: Creates additional units of stackable items. |
| Mirror Mirage: Absorbs and can reflect gaze attacks or other magic requiring a line of sight between caster and castee. |
| Invisibility: Turns one character invisible, "makes them virtually immune to attack, because none of the enemies can see the character." |
| Illusion: Creates an illusion of a powerful entity to aid your party in combat; majority of monsters must fall for it to have effect. |
| Hermetic Gag: prevents up to 6 monsters from making incantations (reading scrolls) |
| Power Nimbus: Restores hit points, vitality, and morale to entire party. |
| Astral Travel: Transports party to another plane. Never did anything for me. |
| Dimension Door: Paired with the Teleport spell, sets the location to which you will return with the Teleport spell. |
| Teleport: Paired with the Dimension Door spell, teleports party to the location set by the Dimension Door spell. |
All Eldritch Spells (complete)
| Spoiler |
|---|
| This hidden spell page can be unlocked by asking wizards you meet about it. Scribing Eldritch and Arcanum spellbooks can drive the scriber insane, which can be fixed with the Sane Mind spell or with enough sleeping afterwards. Eldritch spells are the most powerful attack spells in the whole game. |
| Deadly Blades: 10D8 cutting damage per level vs. all enemies (probably the best offensive spell) |
| Disintegrate: instant death to one enemy (powerful enemies usually save against it) |
| Destroyer Vortex: 6d8 damage per level + random effects vs. all enemies. |
| Summoning I: summons minor set of monsters to fight for party |
| Summoning II: summons major set of powerful monsters to fight for party (Silver Dragons, Earth Titans, Blink Cats, etc.) |
| Time Stop: stops time so that party can attack while enemies are frozen in time |
| Detect Invisible: makes invisible enemies visible in combat (never really a problem anyway) |
| Etherwarp: 4D8 damage per level vs. all astral enemies |
| Moonbeam: mass insanity in all animals, werewolves start fighting amongst themselves |
| Protect Vs Plants: repelling field against all forms of plant life |
