The school of incantation contained spells that targeted magic itself and the way of casting it.[1] Like other schools of effect, it thus grouped spells not like the traditional nine schools of magic based on their philosophy, but on what they affected.[note 1][1][2] The schools of conjuration/summoning, illusion/phantasm, invocation/evocation and necromancy were considered opposed to incantation.[3]
Specialists in this school, called incantatrixes (or incantatars), were exceedingly rare. None were known outside of western Faerûn.[3]
Subschools[]
Incantation spells could be divided into four groups:
- Banishment: These spells were meant to send back magically summoned creatures.[1]
- Disruptive: Spells of this kind targeted magic already in place or the ability of another magic-user to cast spells.[1]
- Metamagic: These were spells that influenced the effectiveness of other spells, e.g. by changing their reach, area or intensity.[1][4]
- Shielding: These were spells intended to protect a caster from another's magic.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Cult of the Dragon does not call incantation a "school of effect", a term from Player's Option: Spells & Magic, but it fits the definition there.
