Spells have been known and practiced by wizards since the beginning of time. Although spells take learning to fully comprehend and be able to execute efficiently, it is understood that most wizards are aware of most well-known spells from a very young age.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the well-known spells, there names, incantations and what they result in. Please, always be sure to use spells responsibly, and for the sake of good and not evil.
