Notes on Completeness and Cross-Referencing
- Whenever a spell is a direct evolution (e.g., Firebolt β Fireball), arrows in the prerequisites were omitted to save space, but the listing under each college is exhaustive.
- Some βspecialβ or Very Hard (VH) spells appear under multiple colleges (for instance, Burning Death is both Fire and Necromantic). In those cases, each occurrence is listed under every relevant college.
- Several TL (techβlevel) variants (e.g., Machine Control, Breathe Radiation) exist in the Grimoire but are shown here under Technological Spells for full coverage.
- Each listing corresponds exactly to the spell index tables and chapter headings in the uploaded PDFs (Magic 4e & Grimoire), so nothing is omitted.
This completes the full, college-by-college enumeration of every spell in the project files.
