Spell Level
Spell Level indicates a mage's skill in handling magic. Spell Level is acquired by learning new spells and is usually the primary factor in determining the strength of a mage's spells. It is advisable to research all available spells early after the creation of a mage in order to utilize higher Spell Level (and therefore stronger spells).
Basics
- The number and difficulty of your spells known determine your actual SL -- researching or purchasing spells will also increase your spell level.
- Favour or Disfavour from Magic can temporarily affect Spell Level.
- Some Spells' effects are not based on Spell Level.
- A change in spell level does not immediately affect enchantments that were already cast and still in effect.
- For example, if you cast Plant Growth with +20 spell level because of Magic's favor, it keeps in effect as long as you maintain the upkeep, usually weeks longer than the god favor lasts.
- Spell level also somewhat influences Net Power
- With the skill Grand Enchanter, enchantments are more powerful. Level 8 Grand Enchanter is comparable to Magic's favour bonus in strength for enchantments only (but permanent).

- By acquiring ancient spells and opposite color complex spells (Black Market), mages can further increase their spell level.
- The max possible base Spell Level is 709 on Beta server.
