Arcane Spells

An Arcane spell draws on the ambient magic of the multiverse. Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards are among those who harness this magic.

The Arcane Spells table is a partial list of Arcane spells. The table provides a spell's level, name, and school of magic. The list also indicates whether a spell has the Ritual tag.
