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.
 * schools : 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 and domains35 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. Bear in mind that not all spells have descriptors. Use this field for a single edition or else use descriptors3e and/or descriptors35 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. Use keywords4e (and maybe keywords5e) when the article discusses the spell in the pre-Spellplague era.
 * level : Optional. Please use a class table and list the class name and minimum level required for each of the classes who 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, level35, level3e, level2e, level1e : Optional. Please make a class table for each edition as needed. If you use any of these, do not use level.
 * type5e, type4e, type35, type3e, type2e, type1e : Optional. All types 3.5 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.
 * schools35, schools3e, schools2e, schools1e : 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 schools.
 * domains35, 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 either of these.
 * descriptors35, 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 these.
 * 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, 3.5, etc.
 * nocat : Optional. Setting this to anything other than  will suppress the generation of categories for this spell. Note that each keyword and descriptor has its own nocat parameter.
