Spellbook Basics

A beginner explanation of Spellbook, learned spells, mana, cooldowns, requirements, and shortcuts.

beginner By Definya Team

The main spell UI label is Spellbook.

Open Spellbook to view spells your character can use and manage spell shortcuts.

What the Spellbook shows

The Spellbook uses these character details:

  • learned spells
  • current magic level
  • character skill levels for strength, dexterity, magic, resistance, and magic resistance
  • mana
  • spell cooldowns
  • shortcuts

The Spellbook can set a spell shortcut or remove a shortcut.

How spells are cast

Spells are cast from magic words. Global chat can also recognize magic words and cast the matching spell.

A spell can fail before it casts. Confirmed checks include:

  • character is alive and online
  • character is not silenced
  • character has enough mana
  • spell exists and is learned
  • class and race requirements are met, when the spell has them
  • level and skill requirements are met
  • premium requirements are met, when applicable
  • ranged target requirements are valid, when applicable

Spell types

Spell casting types include:

  • SelfCasting — self-targeted spells such as buffs or healing
  • RangedCasting — target-required spells such as attacks or debuffs

Spell details can include:

  • name
  • magic words
  • mana cost
  • cooldown
  • minimum character level
  • minimum magic level
  • class restrictions
  • race restrictions
  • elemental type
  • required item
  • maximum grid distance

For spell catalogs later, use Spells and class spell pages.

Learning spells

Definya can add eligible spells when your character reaches required levels and meets class/race rules.

When a spell is learned, the game can notify the player immediately.

Spell tomes and loot

Spell tomes can appear as loot. Do not assume a specific tome drops from a specific enemy unless Mobs or Items confirms it.

Beginner spell tips

  • Open Spellbook after leveling to check for newly available spells.
  • Watch your mana before casting.
  • If a spell will not cast, check level, magic level, class/race restrictions, target, and cooldown.
  • Add frequently used spells to shortcuts from the Spellbook.
  • Use Spells later for exact spell data.
