There are 716 wizard spells. No more, no less. This number
is known because Leetore the Limicker, a great mage of the
fourth aeon, successfully contacted a somnolent elder god
that susurrated several secrets (in limerick form, of course)
before drowsing off forever. It is the measure of success for
every wizard to fill his spell book with as many of these 716
spells as can be found in his lifetime.
Thus, the spells that follow are by no means all the spells
in the world. They are merely some that are known among
the more quotidian wizards of Aéreth. As most wizards
will never see more than a few of these spells recorded together,
they are listed here as a convenience for play, nothing
more. Should your character ever know more than this
many spells, he will be a great mage.
Cleric spells are not so rigidly defined. Each god’s domain
offers both powers and limitations, such that the boundaries
of a cleric’s magic are a bit more flexible. And the gods
themselves change over time, of course.
