| − | A '''Spell''' is the [[caster|caster's]] stock-in-trade. Spells are magic incantations or effects conjured up by whatever game mechanism the developers allowed. Supposedly modeled after fantasy, myth and legend, spells have various effects. Spells can do different kinds of damage, or healing. They can also cause beneficial effects (aka [[buff]]s) on friendly characters, or harmful effects (aka [[debuff]]s) on hostile [[mob]]s. |
