List of spells by school

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This is a list of all spells available for the player in Crawl, organized by magic school.

Note that the names of the schools of magic (as listed in the spellcasting and memorization screens) are not exactly the same as the names of the corresponding skills. In particular, the elemental (and poison) skills add "Magic" to the name; and most of the other skill names are plural, while most of the school names are singular.
