List of D&D Spells

Thought the history of D&D, there have been many spells for spellcasters. A few of these spells are especially iconic to the point where even people who don't play D&D know them, and others have become infamous for other reason. Here we will try to make a list of many of these spells.

Places words on a surface that explode when they are read. Made famous by the comic Order of the Stick, where they are a running gag. In 5th edition this spell returns as an option for the spell Glyph of Warding.

Fireball

An iconic wizard spell that does a lot of damage over an area. The creators of 5th edition have actually admitted that they made the spell overpowered since it is such an iconic spell.

Magic Missile

One of the first spells wizards learn. The damage it does is pretty small, but it is extremely useful because it never misses and since it does force damage, very few enemies in the game are immune or resistant to it.

Prismatic Spray
