Spell school
Version Unknown: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A spell school is the category to which a spell belongs. A spell may belong to more than one school, but spells that belong to one elemental school will never belong to that element's opposition school. The more schools a spell belongs to, the more skill and XP will be needed to train to achieve facility with that spell: spell casting success is based on the average of the spell's schools' skills.
The spell schools currently extant are:
- Hexes
- Charms
- Summonings
- Necromancy
- Translocations
- Transmutations
- Fire Magic (elemental)
- Ice Magic (elemental)
- Air Magic (elemental)
- Earth Magic (elemental)
- Poison Magic
