Spells
Spells are divided into subclasses according to their use. Enhancements, Protections, Attacks, Helpers, Curses, Outlaw, Other, and Special. The tables are divided into spell name, number of pages in the book (which is how much magic you need to obtain the spell from the witch) and a brief description of the spell.
Magic is obtained from the witch. Go to her with a sufficent magic stat and rings.
Some spells and abilities are only avaliable through other in-game means.
