Spells

**Spells** is a general term for magic that requires knowledge and training in spell casting.

## Description

Spells contain a wide variety of magic that can be used for but not limited to utility, offense, support, enchantment, and defense. Spell casters often use a catalyst such as a staff or even disposable trinkets to cast spells. Spells differ from Miracles in that they are not powers granted by the gods. Also quite unlike miracles, spells are more accessible and thus can be learned by most adventurers regardless of their class. Such examples of non-mage class magic users include Spearman and Noble Fencer. Notable examples of spell casters include:

* Witch
* Dwarf Shaman
* Female Wizard
* Wizard
* Wizard Boy
* Arc Mage
* Sage
* Fire Goblin

### Usage

The user will recite an incantation before a spell is cast. The incantation will vary depending on the spell desired. The amount of times one can use spells per day is based on ability and experience.
