Template:Spell/doc/usage

Parameters

 * variant : Optional. If type is set, this parameter causes the spell to be called something different and be put in a different category. Possible values are: power, discipline, evocation, exploit, hex, and prayer. If not specified, it defaults to spell. Even if type is not set, the spell will be put in . The default is Category:Spells. NOTE: If this is set to a non-default value, any keywords or descriptors should also have their variant set to the same value.
 * image : Optional. An image of the spell being cast.
 * caption : Optional. A description of the image.
 * name : Required. The name of the spell. Pretty straightforward.
 * deity : Optional. For spells granted by a specific deity, write the deity's name.
 * school : Optional. The school or schools of the spell listed, including the subschool in parentheses if applicable. For example: Conjuration (Summoning). Only use this parameter if the article covers just one edition of the spell, otherwise use the edition-specific parameters below.
 * spheres : Optional. Second edition priest spells have spheres. List them here if the article is about a second edition spell, but use the spheres2e parameter if the article covers more than one edition.
 * domains : Optional. Third and 3.5 edition changed spheres to domains. List them here if the article is about a 3.x edition spell, but use the more specific domains3e if other edition stats are also being presented.
 * inventor : Optional. Some spells have a known inventor, such as Mordenkainen. If one exists for the spell in question, list it here.
 * descriptors : Optional. Another 3rd edition change. These were usually offset by square brackets (e.g., [Cold] ) near the spell's name. Bear in mind that not all spells have descriptors. Use this field for a single edition or else use descriptors3e if non-3.x info is present. See Descriptors below for a list of possible values. If you add the desc/fire descriptor, the spell will be placed in Category:Fire spells. Use  to get Category:Fire powers.
 * keywords : Same as descriptors except for 4th edition. These were usually offset by a diamond (&diams;) after the spell's type. Use keywords4e (and maybe keywords5e) when the article also discusses the spell in the pre-Spellplague era and you use other edition-specific parameters.
 * level : Optional. Please use a split table and list the class name and the level of the spell for whomever can cast this spell. Again, there are level1e through level5e parameters for organization and completeness.
 * type : Optional. For 4th edition and beyond (presumably) this describes how often a spell or power may be used. Possible values are at-will, daily, or encounter. This value, along with the value of variant changes the look of the infobox and the categorization of the spell. For pre-4e spells use the edition-specific type1e, type2e, etc. The designation "Vancian" is acceptable.
 * keywords5e, keywords4e : Optional. For 4th and 5th edition differences. If you use these, don't use keywords above. See Descriptors below.
 * level5e, level4e, level3e, level2e, level1e : Optional. Please make a split table for each edition as needed. If you use any of these, do not use level.
 * refs5e refs4e, refs3e, refs2e, refs1e : Optional. These parameters are used to put &lt;ref&gt; tags in the subtitle rather than have them clutter up a split table or show up at odd places in the infobox. Usually all the spell information comes from one source, but you can add more citations where needed.
 * Example:


 * type5e, type4e, type3e, type2e, type1e : Optional. All types 3e and below are "Vancian", i.e., cast once from memory and then forgotten. Fourth and fifth edition types are at-will, daily, or encounter. None of these will have the same effect as type, so set that parameter if describing a spell in 4th edition or higher.
 * school3e, school2e, school1e : Optional. The pinwheel of wizard schools (Abjuration, Alteration, etc.) including Universal. Even priest spells belonged to a school. If you use these, don't set school.
 * domains3e : Optional. Priests spells in 3.x edition were grouped by domain instead of sphere, but it's the same idea. Don't specify domains if you set this.
 * descriptors3e : Usually offset by square brackets (e.g., [Cold] ), some spells in 3.x edition had these designations as yet another way of categorizing spells. See Descriptors below. Each descriptor will add a category to the page. Don't set descriptors if you use this.
 * reversible2e, reversible1e : Optional. Some first and second edition spells have an evil twin. Setting either of these to anything other than  will designate the spell as reversible.
 * rules : Optional. Use only if all the spell information comes from one edition and you did not specify any edition-specific options. Values should be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
 * nocat : Optional. Setting this to  will suppress the generation of categories for this spell&mdash;mainly used for documentation pages like this one. Note that each keyword and descriptor has its own nocat parameter.
