Magic spells that can be encountered in the world of Might and Magic VI. Magic schools, effects, requirements.
Fire Magic
Torch Light
Torch light increases the radius of light surrounding your party in the dark.
Flame Arrow
Creates and fires a single flaming arrow. Unlike most spells, this spell is notoriously inaccurate and has the same chance of hitting as a regular arrow (using your Fire skill as a bonus to hit). The arrow does 1-8 points of damage when it hits.
Protection from Fire
Increases all your characters’ resistance to fire by an amount equal to your skill in Fire Magic and lasts one hour per point of skill in Fire Magic.
Fire Bolt
Launches a burst of fire at a single target. Damage is 1-4 points of damage per point of skill in Fire Magic, but casting cost is low. Firebolt is safe and effective—the “Old Reliable” of the Sorcerer’s arsenal.
Haste
Reduces the time it takes to recover from casting a spell or attacking with a weapon. Characters will be weak for six hours after this spell wears off.
Fireball
Another Sorcerer’s favorite, fireball targets a single monster, but explodes to hurt anyone else caught in the blast. If your party is too close to the blast, they will be hurt as well. Fireball does 1-6 points of damage per point of skill in Fire Magic.
Ring of Fire
Generates a ring of fire around the party that damages all monsters it contacts. Happily, Ring of Fire is safe and will not damage your own characters. Ring of Fire does six points of damage plus one per point of skill in Fire Magic.
Fire Blast
Launches streaks of fire in the direction the characters are facing. The bolts only hit monsters that stand in their way, so a little aiming practice will help you get the most benefit from Fire Blast. Fire Blast does 4 points of damage plus 1-3 per point of skill in Fire Magic.
Meteor Shower
Summons flaming rocks from the sky in a large radius surrounding your chosen target. Try not to be near the victim when you use this spell. A single meteor does 8 points of damage plus 1 per point of skill in Fire Magic. This spell only works outdoors.
Inferno
Inferno burns all monsters in sight when cast, excluding your characters. Good for cleaning out rooms full of weak or moderate strength monsters in one or two easy castings. Each monster takes 12 points of damage plus 1 per point of skill in Fire Magic. This spell only works indoors.
Incinerate
Amongst the strongest direct damage spells available, Incinerate inflicts massive damage on a single target. Only the strongest of monsters can expect to survive this spell. Damage is 15 points plus 1-15 per point of skill in Fire Magic.
Air Magic
Wizard Eye
Wizard Eye causes the automap located in the upper right corner of the main gaming screen to show the locations of monsters and other points of interest while outdoors. The spell lasts 1 hour per point of skill in Air Magic.
Static Charge
Targets a single monster with a jolt of static electricity. It only does 2-6 points of damage, but it always hits.
Protection from Electricity
Increases all your characters’ resistance to Electricity by an amount equal to your skill in Air Magic.
Sparks
Sparks fires small balls of lightning into the world that bounce around until they hit something or dissipate. It is hard to tell where they will go, so this spell is best used in a room crowded with small monsters. Each spark does 2 points plus 1 per point of skill in Air Magic.
Feather Fall
Feather Fall prevents your characters from being hurt when falling more than ten feet by slowing the speed of the fall. Feather Fall affects your entire party with one casting and has a duration based on your skill in Air Magic.
Shield
Halves damage from incoming ranged attacks (such as rocks and arrows) by slowing the missiles down just before they hit.
Lightning Bolt
Sorcerer’s Darling, Lightning Bolt discharges electricity from the caster’s hand to a single target. It always hits and does 1-8 points of damage per point of skill in Air Magic.
Jump
Jump launches your party up in the air, landing you 60 feet from where you started. Your party takes no falling damage from the jump.
Implosion
Implosion is a nasty spell that affects a single target by destroying the air around it, causing a sudden inrush from the surrounding air, a thunderclap, and 10 points plus 1-10 points of damage per point of skill in Air Magic.
Fly
Grants the power of flight to your characters! This spell is very expensive and only works outdoors, but it is very useful. Fly will drain one spell point every five minutes it is in use (I.E. when you aren't touching the ground).
Starburst
Calls stars from the heavens to smite and burn your enemies. Expert and Master ranking in this spell both increase the number of stars called and speed recovery. The damage for each star is 20 points plus 1 per point of skill in Air Magic, and Starburst only works outdoors. Try not to get caught in the blast…
Water Magic
Awaken
Automatically awakens all of your characters from a normal sleep and will awaken them from a magical sleep if they haven't had the sleep condition for too long. The greater your skill in Water Magic, the longer the sleep condition could have been present before this spell becomes ineffective.
Cold Beam
Targets a single monster with a field of extreme cold for an instant. It only does 2-6 points of damage, but it always hits. The more skill you have in Water Magic, the faster you will recover from casting Cold Beam. Masters of Water can cast this spell without cost.
Protection from Cold
Increases all your characters’ resistance to Cold by an amount equal to your skill in Water Magic. This spell lasts for one hour per point of skill in Water Magic.
Poison Spray
Sprays poison at monsters directly in front of your characters. Damage is low, but few monsters have resistance to poison, so it usually works. Each shot does 2 points of damage plus 1-2 per point of skill in Water Magic.
Water Walk
Only useful outdoors, Water Walk lets your characters walk along the surface of water without sinking. This spell can be very useful, but constantly drains one spell point every 20 minutes while in contact with water.
Ice Bolt
Fires a single bolt of ice at a single target. It always hits and does 1-7 points of damage per point of skill in Water Magic.
Enchant Item
Gives a chance to imbue a normal item with magical powers. The chance of success is 10% per point of skill in Water Magic. Experts manage better enchantments, and only masters can enchant weapons.
Acid Burst
Acid burst squirts a jet of extremely caustic acid at a single victim. It always hits and does 9 points of damage plus 1-9 per point of skill. The big advantage of this spell is few monsters are resistant to acid.
Town Portal
Town Portal teleports the party to the central fountain of the last town visited. Town Portal has a 10% chance per point of Water Magic skill of working when cast.
Ice Blast
Fires a ball of ice in the direction the caster is facing. The ball will shatter when it hits something, launching 7 shards of ice in all directions except the caster’s. The shards will ricochet until they strike a creature or melt. Each shard does 12 points of damage plus 1-2 per point of skill in Water Magic.
Lloyd's Beacon
Lloyd’s Beacon lets you place a marker at a location you want to teleport back to in the future. Just how far in the future depends on your skill and ranking in Water Magic. Cast this spell whenever you wish to either place a marker or return to one.
Earth Magic
Stun
Slaps a monster with magical force, forcing it to recover from the stun spell before it can do anything else. Stun also knocks monsters back a little, giving you a chance to get away while the getting is good. The greater your skill in Earth Magic, the greater the effect of the spell.
Magic Arrow
Creates and fires a single magical arrow. Unlike most spells, this spell is inaccurate and has the same chance of hitting as a regular arrow (using your Earth Magic skill as a bonus to hit). Also unlike most spells, Magic Arrow is free to cast when you become a Master of Earth. The arrow does 3-8 points of damage.
Protection from Magic
Increases all your characters’ resistance to magic by an amount equal to your skill in Earth Magic.
Deadly Swarm
Summons a swarm of biting, stinging insects to bedevil a single target. The swarm only does 5 points of damage plus 1-3 per point of skill in Earth Magic, but it never misses and the damage is physical, making resistance to this spell unlikely.
Stone Skin
Increases the armor class of a character by 5 + 1 point per point of skill in Earth Magic.
Blades
Fires a rotating, razor-thin metal blade at a single monster. This spell can miss, and damage and chance to hit rely heavily on Earth Magic skill. The blade does 1-5 points of damage per point of skill in Earth Magic.
Stone to Flesh
Removes the stoned condition from a character if you cast this spell in time. The greater the skill and rank in Earth Magic the longer the condition could have been present before the “point of no return” is reached.

Rock Blast
Releases a magical stone into the world that will explode when it comes into contact with a creature or enough time passes. The rock will bounce and roll until it finds a resting spot, so be careful not to be caught in the blast. The explosion causes 1-8 points of damage per point of skill in Earth Magic.
