NOTE(S)

1. The spell icons, names and descriptions are taken from the development phase of the game (currently in Pre-alpha) and are subject to change.
2. Spells are taken directly from the most recent source, superseding information from the official class page.
3. The description of abilities/spells on the individual ability/spell page are accurate, but the description in the table is subject to truncation, etc.

For ease of browsing, spells are grouped together by type wherever possible, and these types are not necessarily mirrored directly from the game.
