Learning spells

Spells are not taught by tutors. Open the spells window from anywhere, in or out of combat, and learn a spell for gold.

Requirements

Your character level must reach the spell's level.
The spell must be on your vocation's list. Other vocations' spells are not available in version 1.
You need the gold. The price grows with the spell's level; the window shows it before you pay.

Learning is permanent. A new spell starts at rank 1. There are limits against bots: at most ten learns per hour and one per second.

The list. Each vocation's whole list is open by level 45: a new spell every one to three levels at the start, ending with the vocation's Avatar. After level 45, power comes from ranks, glyphs, the tree and gear. Original spells sit alongside the familiar ones. See Spells by vocation.

Shared families. Spells with the same name appear in several lists, such as Haste and Cleanse at the same levels. Some elements are split by vocation: sorcerers get fire, lightning and death strikes, druids get earth, cold and physical.

Level 1 and the defence by level 8. Every vocation gets a damage spell on day one, a heal by level 3 to 5, and a defensive or utility spell by level 8.

Spell types. Active spells, passive spells and triggered spells share the same rules for learning and ranking (Spell types: active, passive, triggered).
