DIABLO SPELLS



There are three ways to cast spells: by reading a scroll that has the spell written
upon it; by using a staff that has the spell embodied within it; or by casting the spell
from memory. Scrolls and Staves cast the spell at a particular spell level, which is
independent of the character's proficiency with the spell.

Spell Levels can be increased by reading another book about that spell, finding a shrine
which increases spell levels, or by wielding an Angel's or Arch-Angel's staff (which will
increase all spell levels by one or two, respectively). Fifteen is the highest level of
proficiency that you can achieve with any spell, and no additional book or shrine can
increase the spell level above that point. "Temporary" magic increases in spell levels,
which means that only the Angel's or Arch-Angel's staff can raise a spell level up to 17,
but no further, and the advance is removed as soon as you stop wielding the staff. (These
staves do not raise the levels of unknown spells to two--only known spells are benefited.)

Reading spellbooks takes more magic for higher levels of the spell, and reading the book
to gain level 15 in the spell often requires 250 magic. It makes no difference if you are
wielding an Angel's Staff while reading; the game knows what your "base" level in the
spell is, and determines the magic required to read the book from that base level.

Some shrines (notably the Enchanted Shrine, or its Goat or Cauldron equivalents) will
decrease spell levels. If the decrease takes the spell level down to zero, then the spell is
not actually forgotten, although the level is zero and the spell is uncastable. You can raise
the spell level again by finding another Enchanted Shrine, or by reading a book or wielding
an Angel's Staff.

Guardian	3	47	A three headed dragon emerges from the ground, with each head firing Firebolts at surrounding enemies. The dragon cannot be hit, therefore casting Guardians in rooms full of enemies can earn you a few easy kills.

Healing	1	None	This spell will heal you, recovering some lost hit points. The higher the level of the spell, the more hit points you will recover with each use of the spell. For sorcerers, this spell has a significantly greater effect than healing potions.	50	12	1000	250

Holy Bolt	1	N/A	Casting fires a ball of holy magic, so only the undead will be harmed from impact.

The higher the level of the spell, the more damage the Holy Bolt will do.	N/A	N/A	1000	250
Identify	skill	none	Identify will reveal all characteristics of an enchanted or special item, much like how Cain will identify items for you in town. NO BOOK AVAILABLE In Hellfire, this is the skill for the Bard.	100	25	N/A	N/A

Mana Shield	3	None	A Mana Shield will be cast upon the player. In effect, all damage done to the player will be absorbed by the shield, using mana per hit. A gold ball will float over your head indicating that the spell is active. The higher the level of the spell, the more effective the shield is, and thus the less damage the caster will take.	1200	300	16000	4000
Nova	N/A	57	A circular blast of energy will be shot from the player and expand outward, inflicting all creatures surrounding the player, friend or foe. NO BOOK AVAILABLE Book available in Hellfire.	1300	325	N/A	N/A

Repair	skill	None	Warriors have a special skill which allows them to repair weapons in the field. Use this lightly since it decreases the durability of items.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Resurrect	N/A	None	If a character is killed, and his body remains (provided he does not restart in town) a Resurrect spell can be cast, bringing him back to life with one hit point and one mana count. NO BOOK AVAILABLE	250	62	N/A	N/A
Sentinel	demo	---	When you cast it, an eyeball appears next to you and shoots out firebolts at any surrounding enemies. The nice thing about this spell is you can open a door, take two steps in, cast it, and then run out the door again and close it behind you. (Demo only.)	---	---	---	---
Staff Recharge	skill	None	Sorcerers have a special skill that allows them to recharge magic staffs. Just as with the warrior you should use this skill rarely as the number of charges available in the staff decreases with each field recharge.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Stone Curse	2	33	An effective spell which will turn the desired target to stone for a short period of time; no creature has resistance to this spell. During this time he can't move or attack, making him easy prey. A lower level spell of Stone Curse will not be effective as a high level, requiring multiple castings upon the target until it becomes 'stoned'. The higher the level of the spell, the longer the target will remain in stone, and the more effective the Stone Curse will be.	800	200	12000	3000
Telekinesis	2	33	Allows distant objects to be 'triggered'. With this spell, doors and chests can be opened from afar, as can the picking up of items, the pushing of levers, the pushing of enemies, and many other possibilities.	N/A	N/A	2500	625

Town Portal	2	None	A handy spell which will save you minutes of load time and backtracking. Casting this spell will open up a blue portal, which will take you directly to town (instead of having to ascend through the levels to find a passage to town). Once you return from town through the blue portal, it disappears.	200	50	3000	750
Trap Disarm	skill	None	A special skill for the rogue this allows you to disarm traps on chests or doors.	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
