Spell Level
Spell Level indicates a mage's skill level 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 high Spell Level.
Basics
- The number and difficulty of your spells known determine your actual SL -- researching or purchasing spells to increases 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 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).
Standard Spell Levels
These are the spell levels for fully researched mages of the five specialities.
589 for blue
421 for white
428 for green
470 for black
456 for red
This list applies to all servers, because on Apprentice there is a +100 SL bonus to compensate for not having Ultimate spells (since November 2006).
- 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 664.
- With Magic Most Favored and maximum Grand Enchanter, one can cast enchantments at Spell Level 804.
- Gods cast spells at spell level 777

Old Information
