The basic magic in the In Darkest Warrens system is very limited. Each magic-using class (mage, warlock and priest) begins with three specific spells, and there are no methods provided for learning new spells, though the three spells gradually become more effective as the characters rise in levels. This GM might be open to the concept that a high-level magic-user might be able to create new spells, subject to GM approval. Like all other actions in this game, casting a spell involves passing a test by rolling above the character's ability number with a d6; for mages and warlocks the ability is "Mind," for priests it is "Person." (see Character Creation thread) Each spell can only be cast one time in a specific combat situation.

Mage Spells are from the original In Darkest Warrens. Warlock and Priest spells are from the Adventurer's Guide Supplement:
