Page template for spells

Return to Style & Formatting

---

Page names that are actually spells should start with Spell: <name>, to avoid conflicts with items. For example Despair takes you to the item with that name, while Spell: Despair takes you to the spell.

Worn effects should not have Spell: prepended, but should still use the format below — for example Aura of Balance. This is not necessary for any effect that is numbered, such as Casting Speed Increment V or Valiance III; these scale with rank, so they redirect to a page with the formula.

If you add a new spell, add it to that class's progression, found off of Class Spells.

Spells use the spelltable template, which adds Category:Spells (and the class/skill/line categories) automatically. Enter values as plain text; skill, spellline, nextspell, prevspell and the reagenttype fields are auto-linked. The format below follows Spell: Despair:

{{spelltable
 | image     = 2_35
 | group     = Taps
 | sgroup1   = Power Tap
 | sgroup2   =
 | mana      = 12
 | cast      = 2
 | skill     = Alteration
 | IDnum     = 2571
 | range     = 100
 | restype   = Magic
 | aerad     = 0
 | recharge  = 2.5
 | resadj    = 0
 | aedur     = 0
 | push      = 0
 | ttype     = Single
 | spelltype = Detrimental
 | duration  = 20
 | pcclass   = [[Spells: Shadowknight#Level 9|SHD(9)]]
 | restr     = None
 | reagenttype1   =

}}
