====== Spells ======

Spells are a major part of Crossfire.  Many player characters have the ability to memorize and cast spells, as do some NPCs and monsters.  Scrolls, wands, and staffs may also be used to cast spells, so even non-magical, godless player characters will frequently encounter spells in the game.

Spells learned from books fall into two main categories: wizardry spells and prayers.  Casting wizardry spells requires mana and the applicable skill for each spell.  Casting prayers requires grace from a god and the praying skill.  Most spells also belong to a Path, and players may be attuned, repelled, or denied a particular path by their race, class, or god.

===== Notes & Comments =====

  * FIXME Several spells have a skill of ???? set in their archetypes, so they aren't on any of the lists above.  What to do with those?  Are they still valid spells in the game?  They are:
    * aggravation
    * charging
    * create lava
    * haste
    * heroism
    * polymorph
    * regenerate spellpoints

  * FIXME Two spells, [[spells:evocation#armour|armour]] and [[spells:praying#iron_skin|iron skin]] have a path_attuned value of 33, which doesn't match a single bit in the path_attuned bitmask.  Since they are the only two, I'm tempted to assume it's a typo, and they're supposed to be 32 (Self) or 1 (Protection).
