Searchable D&D 5e Spell Compendium
Browse 520 Dungeons & Dragons 5e spells in one searchable, filterable library. The compendium above lets you search by name, filter by spell level, school of magic, and class, and spot ritual and concentration spells at a glance. Click any spell to open its full detail page with casting time, range, components, duration, complete description, and higher-level effects — perfect for quick rules lookups mid-session or building your next character's spell list.
The Eight Schools of Magic
Every 5e spell belongs to one of eight schools. Abjuration protects and wards; conjuration summons creatures and objects; divination reveals information; enchantment influences minds; evocation channels raw energy for damage and healing; illusion deceives the senses; necromancy manipulates life and death; and transmutation changes the properties of creatures and things. Filtering by school is a quick way to match spell choices to your character concept.
Spell Levels, Rituals, and Concentration
Spells range from cantrips (level 0, castable at will) up to 9th-level world-shakers like wish. A spell marked as a ritual can be cast without using a spell slot by taking ten extra minutes — great for utility magic like detect magic or identify. Concentration spells stay active only while you maintain focus: you can only concentrate on one at a time, and taking damage forces a saving throw to keep it. The compendium badges rituals and concentration spells so these rules never catch you off guard.
Finding Spells for Your Class
Each class draws from its own spell list — wizards boast the largest and most versatile, clerics and druids prepare from their full list daily, and sorcerers, bards, and warlocks know a fixed selection. Use the class filter to see exactly which spells your character can learn, then follow any spell through to its detail page for the complete rules text.
