 [[Arcane spells]] require a successful spellcasting check and any components required in its description to cast. Arcane spells might have a number of alternative names depending on the archetype that may cast them. For example, a Hermetic mage can cast "formulae" and Sufi Dervishes may choose "trances" in addition to the general arcane spell list.   [[Divine spells]] (also called "miracles") require a spellcasting check, but only need a Holy Symbol to cast successfully, in place of components.  [[Arcane spells]] require a successful spellcasting check and any components required in its description to cast.

 Casting a spell generally requires an [[actions|Active action]], although some can be cast as a [[actions|quick action]]. It is possible to cast several spells a round, but only 1 can be an Active action spell, the remaining must be quick actions (1 for a quick action, a second if you give up movement).  Each spell in the spell lists defines its requirements, duration, and whether the spellcasting check is a magical attack requiring the check to beat the target's defense (e.g. 10 + the target’s relevant modifier) to be successful.  Each spell, apart from Cantrips and Rituals, is either marked **C** for Spell Casting Roll needed, or **A** for casting roll that must exceed target's defense rating, or **R** for spell that can only be cast as a ritual. If the spell is marked **S** it will inflict its effect even on disembodied spirits. Casting a spell generally requires an [[actions|Active action]], although some can be cast as a [[actions|quick action]].
