Introduction

About This Book

The fourth volume of the Wizard Spell

Compendium continues the work of the first

three. This volume completes the alphabetical

reference to wizard spells of the AD&D* game

system, covering the letters Sq through Z, with

appendices and spell lists. The entire series of

Wizard Compendium books covers wizard

spells created for the game from 1975 to 1995.

For the uninitiated, this is not a book of

“real” magical spells. In a fantasy game world,

characters like Merlin the Magician create mar-

velous magical effects with a wave of the hand,

This is a book of marvelous effects that can be

used by the good guys (and the bad guys) in the

course of a game session. The key to the game

is, as always, the decisions made by the players

(heroic or otherwise), and the impact those de-

cisions have on the ongoing plot of the game.

New spells are fun, but it’s even more fun figur-

ing out unusual ways to use them.

Up to this time, lists of spell effects have

been keyed to spell level; that is, relative spell

power. In other words, if all a gamer or

Dungeon Master knew was a spell

The spells listed in this book are given alpha-

betically. Spell names that include a wizard’s

name are given a primary listing under that name.

For example, for TenserSfroating disk, the pri-

mary entry is under “T.” Another reference to the

main entry will be found at the second word of

the spell name; in this case, the entry would read

“Floating Disk, Tenser’s:.

Be aware that many

compound words, and tl

order follows complete worus. inus, jire snieia

will appear before fireball. If you can’t find a

spell, try Ionking for it as a compound form.

Some spells will have multiple names; or the

name of a spell might have been changed, either to

avoid confusion with a better known spell with a

each

level’s list of spells had to be checked. While

this volume of the series includes level lists (as

well as lists by race and magical specialty) the

most important principle of organization used

in the series as a whole is alphabetical.

The material in these books is presented in

the most current game format, that of the 2nd

Edition rules. Some spell descriptions have

been updated or combined with similar spell ef-

fects to eliminate duplication; some have been

modified for better play, and a very few have

been dropped entirely.

How to

Use This Book

Each spell in this hook is organized along the

same general lines. Each is listed by its name,

school, and a number of statistics that govem its

use such as Level (of power), Range, Casting

Time, and so on. The game powers of each spell

are described, along with any special rules that

govem its use, how the spell target can avoid or

counter its effects, any limitations on how the

spell can be used, and any special preparations or

materials that needed for a successful casting.

Next, the details of any reversed form the spell

might have are given. Finally, a section called

Notes has been appended to each spell; this deals

with the spell’s recommended rarity in the cam-

paign, and any special restrictions on who (or

what) can use it.

setting; and the very rare, pure-

energy “spellfire” of the FORGOTTEN

setting are beyond the scope of this book. The

emphasis here is on those magical effects that

any character with the ability to cast wizard

spells might find useful in the course of an ad-

venture. However, the psionics-based spells of

the Dragon-Kings of the DARK SUN setting have

been included in a special appendix. Also, the

original cantrips (magical effects less powerful

than 1st-level spells) that were first introduced

in the book, Unearthed Arcana, are in this sec-

tion, as well.

darkness, including the shadowstuff of the

Demiplane of Shadow.

Having covered the field briefly, a more de-

tailed look is in order:

Name: This is the name by which the spell is

generally known. Although we have tried to

ensure unique names, this has not always been

possible. For example, create shade, a useful

shelter from the sun in the arahian deserts of the

shade, the evil spell that turns someone into a

dangerous shadow monster from the Plane of

Shadows, a monster known as a shade. Where

two spells have the same name, the most general

version is given first, while variants cast by other

races or found in specialized campaign settings

are given later.

Reversed Form: An entry of “Reversih1e”means

the spell can he cast with the opposite effect. For

example, the flesh to stone spell, a petrifying

attack, can be reversed as stone toflesh, provid-

ing a way to recover a character otherwise lost to

a petrification attack. Usually, a wizard must

memorize the exact form of the reversible spell

he wants available.

OF PHILOSOPHY

Abjuration: Protective, warding, or banishing

magics.

Alteration: Magic that changes physical pmp-

erties of an object, creature, or condition.

Conjuration/Summoning: Magic that calls or

brings objects or creatures from elsewhere.

Divination: Magic that uncovers what is lost

or hidden in the past, present, or future.

Enchantment/Charm: Magic that bestows

magical properties on objects or influences crea-

tures magically.

IIlusiodPhantasm: Illusions create and alter

appearances; phantasms affect the mind.

Invocation/Evocation: Magic that channels

and shapes magical energy to create an effect or

object.

Necromancy: Magic that works on life energy,

including the negative energy of the undead.

SCHOOLS

Level: This is the relative power level of the

spell, ranging from 1st level (weakest) to 9th

level (most powerful). A king’s wizard who can

aeate potions, magical scrolls, and magical items

with expendable charges will generally have

access to a 6th-level spell, a few 5th-level spells,

and an increasing number of 4th- through Ist-

level spells each day.

Range: The distance from the caster at which

the magical effect occurs. A range of “0” means

the effect is centered on the caster’s person or

his location; in the latter case the effect is usu-

ally immobile. “Touch” means the effect can he

used on another creature or object. Unless other-

wise specified, spells are centered on a point

visible to the caster and within the spell’s range;

this can he a specific creature or object if de-

sired. Most ranges are measured in yards; some

are measured in feet.

Optional Schools: These include two groups

of schools beyond the original eight.

OF EFFECT

Dimension: Magic that affects dimensions, or

access to extradimensional areas.

Elemental Magic: This is subdivided into Air,

Earth, Fire, and Water specialists. Arabian and

oriental cultures have similar divisions.

Force: Magic that deals with fields of pure cc-

hesive magical energies.

Shadow: Magic that deals with shadow and
