This spoiler describes in detail how spells (and prayers) are gained, used, and lost. It also describes how intelligence or wisdom and level affect the number of spells available, the chance of failure, and the maximum number of mana points you have.
This last section of this spoiler describes the effects of every spell and prayer. It also discloses in what book the spell may be found, what classes are able to use the spell, minimum level needed to use the spell, mana cost, and base chance of spell failure.

The notation "XdY" indicates a number obtained by rolling an Y-sided die X times. (Thus 4d6 indicates a number from 4 to 24).
Unless stated otherwise, "level" always refers to the character level. In the descriptions of learning and using spells, the term "spell" applies to both magic spells and holy prayers.
To the TopLearning Spells
Before a spell can be used, it must be learned. The number of spells you can learn depends on your level and your intelligence (for mages, rangers, and rogues) or wisdom (for priests and paladins), as shown in table 1.
Rangers start gaining spells at level 3, rogues at level 5. Fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number. Example: a 9th level ranger with 18/73 intelligence has a maximum of 12 spells (from 3 up to 9 is 7 levels, multiplied by 1.7 = 11.9, rounded up to 12).
The number of spells you can learn will never exceed the number of spells available to your class. Some spells in the spellbooks are not available to all classes. These are marked (illegible) when browsing the spellbook.
When the number of spells you can learn increases, a message is shown ("You can learn xxx more spell(s)/prayer(s)") and the word "Study" is shown on the status bar. No message is given if the status "Study" was already activated. You can use the "gain" command to learn a new spell, provided you are not blind or confused and some light is available.
For mages, rangers, and rogues, the game lets you choose which magic spell to learn. The chosen spell must meet the following criteria:
- The spell must be available to your class (ie not "illegible"),
- Your level must be equal to or higher than the minimum level of the spell selected
- You must not already know the spell.
For priests and paladins, you can only choose a book to gain a prayer from. The game will then randomly choose a holy prayer from that book, governed by the same criteria as for magic spell above.
If your intelligence, wisdom, or level decreases, you may forget some of the spells you have learned earlier. First, you will forget all spells with a minimum level higher than your new character level. Next, the number of spells you may know is determined from your new level and your new intelligence or wisdom; if you still know too many spells, you will forget as many spells as needed to lower the number of spells known to the new maximum. The order in which spells will be forgotten is the reverse of the order in which they were learned. A forgotten spell can not be used until it's remembered.
If the number of spells you can learn increases after you have forgotten one or more spells, then you will start remembering those spells again. Spells will come back to you in the same order in which they were originally learned. You won't be able to learn new spells until there are no more previously forgotten spells to remember. (Note that there is one situation that allows you to learn new spells before all previously forgotten spells are remembered: if you lose a level, but increase your intelligence or wisdom, you won't be able to remember the spells that are still above your level, but you may learn other spells).
To the TopMana / Spell Points
Mana is the magical energy a spellcaster has. The amounts of mana is measured in spell points (SP). For spellcasters, both the maximum and the current number of spell points are shown below the maximum and current hit points.
The maximum number of spell points you may have is determined by level and intelligence (for mages, rangers, and rogues) or wisdom (for priests and paladins), as shown in table 1.
Rangers start gaining mana at level 3, rogues at level 5. Fractions are rounded down. If you have at least 0.5 spell point (before rounding), you get one spell point bonus. Example: a 9th level ranger with 18/73 intelligence has a maximum of 18 spell points (from 3 up to 9 is 7 levels, multiplied by 2.5 = 17.5, rounded down to 17 plus 1 bonus = 18).
Mages, rangers, and rogues may suffer a penalty to their maximum number of spell points when they wear gloves. Unless the gloves give you Free Action or a bonus to dexterity, the maximum number of spell points is reduced by 25%.
All spellcasters may suffer a penalty to their maximum number of spell points from heavy armor. The maximal combined weight of all armor (equipment slots "g" through "l") for each class is given in table 2. Exceeding the limit results in a penalty of 1 spell point per pound of extra weight.
Everytime you attempt to use a spell, whether successful or not, the mana required for that spell is subtracted from your current mana. If your current mana is insufficient, you may still attempt to use the spell but the failure chance will increase and you risk damage to your constitution, as described below. The mana required for each spell is given in the spell descriptions at the end of this spoiler.
When your current number of spell points is below the maximum, it will slowly restore. To determine the amount of spell points regenerated each turn, first determine the regeneration percentage. This is usually 0.3%, but lack of food will lower this to 0.15% (weak), 0.05% (fainting) or even to 0% (starving). If you have regeneration, the regeneration percentage is doubled. The regeneration percentage is also doubled when you are resting or searching.
After determining the regeneration percentage, the actual amount of spell points regenerated per turn follows from this calculation:
SP regenerated = (Max SP * regeneration%) + 0.008
Note: Fractions of spell points are kept, but never shown.
Example: a 9th level ranger with 18/73 intelligence has a maximum of 18 spell points. If she is resting while being well-fed and wearing an Amulet of Regeneration, the regeneration percentage is 1.2% (0.3% for being well-fed, doubled for regeneration and doubled again for resting). She will restore (18 * 1.2%) + 0.008 or 0.224 spell points per turn.
To the TopUsing Spells
In order to use a spell, issue either the "cast" or the "pray" command. You may not be blind or confused and some light has to be available.
You can only use spells from spellbooks that are available to you (either in your inventory or on the floor) and that you have already learned. Spells that you have forgotten can't be used until they are remembered again.
If you try to use a spell that requires more mana than you currently have, you are asked to confirm if you really want to try that spell. Note that any attempt to use a spell that costs more mana than you have can damage your constitution! See below for details.
Once you have selected which spell to use, the game will determine if the spell is succesful or not. The base chance of failure for each spell is given in the spell descriptions at the end of this spoiler (marked %Fail). This chance is reduced by 3 percent for each level above the minimum level required for your class to use that spell. The chance of failure is further reduced by an amount based on intelligence (for mages, rangers, and rogues) or wisdom (for priests and paladins), as shown in table 1. If you have insufficient mana, the chance of failure increases by 5% for every spell point you are short of the amount needed. Finally, if you are a priest wielding an edged weapon, another 25% is added to the chance of failure, unless the weapon is blessed.
After correcting the chance of failure for level, intelligence or wisdom, lack of mana, and edged weapon use for priests, it is checked against the minimum chance of spell failure, which is dependant on intelligence (for mages, rangers, and rogues) or wisdom (for priests and paladins), as shown in table 1.
After applying the minimum chance of spell failure, the stun condition is checked. Attempting to use spells while stunned will boost the chance of failure by 15% when stunned or by 25% when heavily stunned.
Amnesia is another factor that impacts your chance of succesfully using spells. If you are currently suffering from amnesia, the chance of failure is doubled.
If, after all these calculations, the failure chance exceeds 95%, it is lowered to 95%.
Example: a 9th level ranger with 18/73 intelligence tries to cast a Stinking Cloud. For rangers, this spell has mimimum level 7, base chance of failure of 40% and the mana needed is 5 SP. Unfortunately, the current mana of this ranger is a mere 3 SP. Her chance of failure is determined as follows: base chance (40%) minus 3 times the number of levels above minimum level for the spell ((9-7) * 3 = 6%) minus adjustment for 18/73 INT (12%) plus 5 times the amount of SP she is short ((5-3) * 5 = 10%): 40 - 6 - 12 + 10 = 32%. Since the minimum chance of failure for 18/73 INT is 5% (for rangers - the 4% chance applies to mages and priests only), the calculated value of 32% will be used to determine if the spell of Stinking Cloud succeeds. This number would increase to 47% if she is currently stunned, or it would double to 64% if she suffers from amnesia. If she is both heavily stunned and amnesiac, the chance of failure would be 95% (32% + 25% for heavy stun makes 57%, doubled for amnesia to 114% but capped at the maximum failure chance of 95%).
After calculating the chance of failure, Angband checks if you succeed in using the spell. If the spell fails, a message is given to notify you of the failure. If the spell succeeds, the effects described in the spell descriptions at the end of this spoiler take place. If this is the first time you succeed in using the spell, you will gain an amount of experience equal to the experience points for the spell multiplied by the minimum level required for the spell.
Regardless of success or failure, your mana will be reduced by the amount needed to cast the spell, but never below zero. If a spell was cast with insufficient mana, you will always faint (even if you have Free Action) and be paralyzed for 1d(5*short+1) turns (where short is the number of spell points you were short. There is also a 3 in 8 chance that your current constitution is reduced and a 1 in 8 chance that both your current and maximum constitution are reduced. In both cases, the amount of constitution lost is from 4 to 12.5%.
To the TopTables
For easier reference, all modifiers used in the calculations above are gathered together in two tables. The first table lists all effects of intelligence or wisdom: number of spells per level, amount of mana per level, adjustment to chance of spell failure, and minimum chance of spell failure. The second table lists all class-dependent issues: minimum level for gaining and using spells, maximum armor weight, minimum chance of spell failure, and primary statistic (intelligence or wisdom).

Standard Chance to Resist
The more powerful monsters are less likely to be affected by many of the effects of spells. The standard chance to resist an effect is based on the monster's monster level and your character level:
- Monster levels up to and including 11 have no chance to resist;
- Monster levels from 12 up to and including your character level resist if 1d(character level -10) < monster level - 10;
- Monster levels > your character level always resist.
In the spell descriptions below, "standard chance to resist" is used to indicate that this chance applies to the particular effect.
To the TopBooks of Magic Spells
This section of the spoiler describes the effects of every magic spell.
Many spells will produce some kind of ball effect. For all ball effects, damage is reduced by range. The amount of damage at the center is listed in the descriptions. This damage is reduced by 50% at range 1, by 66% at range 2, by 75% at range 3 (for large balls), and by 80% at range 4 (for giant balls).

Teleports you 1 level up or 1 level down (chosen at random). The direction will always be down from the town, and always up from level 99 if Sauron is still alive or level 100 if Morgoth is still alive. This prayer has no effect when the option to restrict the use of stairs and recall is set.
(e) Word of Recall
Priest : Level 35, Mana 50, %Fail 75, Exp 11
Paladin: Level 40, Mana 60, %Fail 75, Exp 10
Teleports you from the dungeon to the town or from the town to the deepest level you have visited in the dungeon. If you are in the dungeon but above the deepest level you have visited, you are given the option to reset the recall depth. If you do so, future recalls will take you to your current level, or to the deepest level you have visited after resetting recall depth. The recall effect is not immediate; it is delayed by 14+1d20 turns. During that delay, the spell can be canceled by invoking the spell of recall again. This prayer has no effect when the option to restrict the use of stairs and recall is set, unless Morgoth is dead.

Undead Powers
This section of the spoiler describes the effects of the Undead Powers you may use as a Ghost.
NOTE: Undead Powers don't follow normal rules for mana.
Some powers will produce some kind of ball effect. For all ball effects, damage is reduced by range. The amount of damage at the center is listed in the descriptions. This damage is reduced by 50% at range 1, by 66% at range 2, and by 75% at range 3 (for large balls only).
Undead Powers drains Experience ( permanently ) instead of Mana for each spell you use. If casting a spell causes the player to have negative experience, 5000 damage is dealt, thus killing the player.
