A § or † symbol appearing at the end of a spell’s name in the spell lists denotes a spell with a material or focus component, respectively, that is not normally included in a spell component pouch. A ‡ symbol denotes a spell with an XP component paid by the caster.
Order of Presentation: In the spell lists and the spell descriptions that follow them, the spells are presented in alphabetical order by name except for those belonging to certain spell chains.
When a spell’s name begins with lesser, greater, or mass, the spell description is alphabetized under the second word of the spell name instead.
Hit Dice: The term Hit Dice is used synonymously with character levels for effects that affect a number of Hit Dice of creatures. Creatures with Hit Dice only from their race, not from classes, have character levels equal to their Hit Dice.
Caster Level: A spell’s power often depends on caster level, which is defined as the caster’s class level for the purpose of casting a particular spell.
A creature with no classes has a caster level equal to its Hit Dice unless otherwise specified. The word level in the spell lists that follow always refers to caster level.
Creatures and Characters: The words creature and character are used synonymously in the spell descriptions.
