Ancient Tome of Dark Magic ~ G.Sgarbi ~ An impressive 200 pages collection of Necromanctic spells and cantrips found by G. Sgarbi. The spells are from black, red and white magic. Read the informational (darkmagic.txt) text about this great netbook, it's worth it.

Ars Magica Spells For AD&D ~ Steve Scott ~ A spellbook containing many of the Ars Magica spells converted for ad&d.

Cantrips, Book of ~ ? ~ Tens of cantrips for those who feel like kidding around.

Great Net Spellbook ~ Compiled by Boudewijn Wayers ~ So, you want more wizard spells, hundreds of more spells, you don't get tired of new spells? You collect them, love them, cast them, give them, burn them.

Great Net Prayerbook ~ Compiled by Boudewijn Wayers ~ As above but for the priest, hundreds of new spells from various creative or insane minds.

Magical Compendium of Novel Incantations ~ Plasto Quinon ~ I, the archaeologist
Mistroom Everglance, have explored many ancient sites to bring to you the knowledge amassed in the Compendium you now hold before you. Accompanied by only the best adventurers I have entered ruined keeps and the long abandoned towers of famous
sorcerers. Here I found the spells of old masters of magic like Dreamweaver and Ingmar. By far most spells however I have found in safer places. The Master Transmuter of the gnomic University of Magic of Oredig has granted me to search through the tomes he made as a young adult, and the vast library of the elves of Faruel proved a rich source of spells from the famous half-elven transmutress known as the Green Orion. In this tome I present you not only these ancient spells, but also the much newer findings of that famous gnomic illusionist Onno Trickthought, whom I met at the University of Rockhome.

Making Magical Items ~ Bryan J. Maloney ~ The following is a method I've used to make the creation of magical items in AD&D a great deal more sensible than the nonsense currently available. To be blunt, there is no way to reconcile the vast amounts of enchanted items available in official TSR-published materials with the extreme difficulty had in producing these items. It's obvious to me that absolutely no intelligent thought has been put into this question by the powers that be at TSR.


Net Tome of Magick ~ Robert A. Hayden (Edited by Ole A. Ringdal) ~ Laugh at those spells from level 10 to 15, yeah...15th level spells!

Notebook of Illusionary Methods ~ M. Belanith ~ Methods of illusion casting and detailed explanations. Categorized in five categories: Phantasmal Force, Improved Phantasmal Force, Spectral Force,Advanced Illusion and Programmed Illusion. Each illusions is described with it's effect and weakness.

Mighty Magic, Tome of (2 vol.) ~ North Pole Publications ~
First tome is 70 pages : Many godly powerful spells, including spells over
9th level (10-15th level spell).
Second tome is 70 pages : Rules for obtaining high (very) level spells. Wizard and Cleric spell progression from level 1 to 50. And more more more spells.

SpellBinder (Shanidar 2nd Edition Draco Sanctus Graal) ~ Stacy-Lynne Savage ~ The Great Dragons of Pan-Tang penned several spells at Shanidar during the time of the 2nd Chyon Interregnum. Only a small few of these works survived the destruction and chaos that occurred during the "Time of Aberration" that followed. Some of these spells are compiled in this Volume of the SpellBinder Shanidar Edition, Draco Sanctus Graal. Although, these spells are only usable by Dragons, they can be adapted and modified for use by Wizards with the proper resources for spell research and creation.

Spells of Gadrwyn Waeth for 3rd ed. ~ Bob Hall ~ This list of spells can be adapted for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game system. Corrections and additions to this document are appreciated. A version of these spells is also available on the web at http://hiddenway.tripod.com/adelfarn/spells.html. Spells converted to 3rd edition. Special thanks to Crystal for thoroughly reviewing these spells!

The Gadrwyn Waeth is a guild of magi located in the travelling town of Adelfarn. Because the town has traveled far and wide over the centuries the wizards have acquired a considerable breadth of magical knowledge. Many of the arcane spells described below are commonly taught by the guild to its apprentices, and are documented in the guild library. Others are carefully stored in warded chambers lest the foolish or the power hungry misuse them. The spells have been obtained from many worlds, and so are not unique to any one setting.

Teaching an Old Mage New Tricks ~ Jim Schofield ~ A few useful tips and tricks for the use of these old spells.

Theory of Illusion ~ Wade Holst ~ A theory about how to interprete illusions from T$R's point of view and from the author of this netbook.

The Net Libram of Random Magical Effects ~ Orrex ~ Here it is! A table with more Wild Surges than a person could ever reasonably need, and then some. Created and organized over a period of several years, this list hopes to provide sufficient chaos to support any campaign lucky or unfortunate enough to include Wild Mages. 10,000 random magical effects, enough for a few decades of campaign

Unification of Wizard and Priest Magic ~ Matthew "Xeno" Shelton ~ This net.guide is a presentation for the merging of the spells of wizards and priests into one list of magic spells which both classes may research, memorize, be granted, or otherwise acquire, as well as be able to cast. There are several reasons why I believe that this would be in the best interest of both classes involved, or at least undertaken as a viable option for Dungeon Masters for their campaign. They are:

1. Wizards logically should be able to research and create spells identical to priest spells.
2. A deity of all things logically should be able to grant his priest any wizard spell that fits with that deity's sphere of influence.
3. Wizardly magic, which is magic that emanates from mortals, can't or shouldn't be more powerful than priestly magic, which is magic that comes from gods themselves.
4. If the only real reason to have two sets of magic spells in which wizards have primarily destructive magicks and priests have primarily healing magicks is so that one class can never completely replace the other, this is a sad state of affairs and does not rely on the other talents of either class to make them more of a desirable choice for role-play. Wizards are more than just combat mages and priests are more than just healers.
5. There are several spells of both types which are virtually identical. This, too, suggests that the two types of magic have been merely duplicated and divided among two groups of spellcasters and it does no harm to the system to unify them again. In some cases, one or the other of these pairs have been dropped; in other cases, they have both been kept and one renamed or modified in some way. The same might be said for three schools and spheres, namely Summoning, Divination, and Necromancy, which have wizard and priest versions. These three schools and spheres alone suggest a unification if nothing else does.

Wizard Spell List ~ Re-edited & Updated by Matthew Roe ~ First version from an unknow author ~ I found this old list from 1991 and could NOT find the original author/editor of this list nor any updated list. Being a Wizard, I decided to take the copies of several netbooks and add them to this list and update it. This is the 1st draft of that update.

If you have some magic-user spellbooks / netbooks that aren't already listed here, please upload a copy to the blue troll site and send me an email about it. Also, beware of the spell lists from the Tome of Mighty Magic; IMHO several of them need careful examination because they produce effects not proportionate to their level of power. The original Tome was created during the early days before "first edition" D&D.
