Magic

Ten spells, and how to cast them.

Last updated: 2026-08-19 02:30 PM EDT.

Magic is not installed on TamrielQuest yet. This page describes how it will operate once it arrives.

Cast your first spell

Every new arrival receives a novice staff. Hold it and right-click, and your hotbar becomes your spell inventory. Select a spell with the number keys, then aim and left-click to cast it.

Magicka

While you hold a staff, the bar above your hotbar displays magicka instead of experience. Every spell has a price, and the bar replenishes automatically. Each spell also recovers for several seconds after you cast it.

You may also hold a second staff in your off hand, and cast from either one as the situation demands.

The ten spells

The smaller name beneath each spell is the ordinary item it resembles in your hotbar.

	Spell	What it does	Magicka	Rest
	Sparks Prismarine Shard	A rapid bolt of lightning, and your everyday attack.	15	1.5s
	Waterbreathing Glass Bottle	Replenishes your air the moment you begin drowning, without being cast.	free	45s
	Candlelight Torch	Places a floating light where you aim. It fades after five minutes.	15	5s
	Frostbite Snowball	Wounds a target and slows its movement considerably.	30	8s
	Cure Poison Milk Bucket	Removes poison from you and anyone within five blocks.	25	20s
	Firebolt Fire Charge	A bursting ball of fire. It injures creatures, never the landscape.	40	8s
	Swiftness Chorus Fruit	You move faster for thirty seconds.	25	40s
	Healing Apple	Restores health across five seconds, although damage interrupts it.	50	45s
	Conjure Familiar Egg	Summons a wolf that fights beside you for forty-five seconds.	35	40s
	Invisibility Chainmail Chestplate	Nobody can see you for twenty seconds. Attacking ends it immediately.	70	90s

Learning more spells

Casting earns you spell points, and you spend them by right-clicking an arcane altar while holding your staff. Purchase every spell at your rank and you advance to the next, which increases your maximum magicka.

Spells also improve independently. A spell you cast frequently becomes more powerful, at no additional cost to you.

If a spell does not fire

Either your magicka is insufficient, the spell is still recovering, or you are standing on land where you have no permission to fight.
