Spell Description

When a spell is cast the spell's description details what will happen. Dominions has a multitude of different spells, all with different effects. This page will detail how to read one spell's description and determine what will happen once a given spell is cast.

  • In pure Illwinter fashion most spells act according to their description, but some do not. If you are uncertain of what a spell actually does, please ask around on your Discord server of choice.
  • Alternatively, the Dominions Mod Inspector often gives a more detailed description of what each spell actually does.

Example: Lightning Bolt
