This is probably the deadliest spell in Diablo. It creates massive explosions that severely hurts enemies around you. You won't find this in book form, only in scrolls and staves.

Skeleton Spirits attack your enemies and take off 1/3 of their hit points. Unfortunately, this spell takes away your own health as well.

It's a star shaped blast that your character shoots which will damage an enemy no matter what immunities they have. It's the same spell that HellSpawns and similar enemies use.

It shoots out a few charges that seek out an enemy and hit him. It's slow and weak.

It will send out bolts of lightning at all enemies in range. It helps if you are close to the enemy, and it is very powerful at a high level.

It sends out a Fire Elemental which will run into its target. The problem is it can only turn once and if cast in the wrong place tries to run through walls to get to enemies.

It sends out a fireball that explodes on impact. It can be quite strong at a high level.

It creates a wall of fire that damages all who stand on it. It's good for attacking large groups of enemies.

It is basically a moving fire wall. Though not particularly good, since it only hits the enemy once, and it isn't as strong as fire wall.

This will probably be the first spell you get. It is basically just a weak fireball (it doesn't explode on impact). It's quite weak even at high levels.

It creates a ring around the character which expands a little and hurts enemies around you.

This spell creates a 3 headed hydra which come out of the ground and fires firebolts at all enemies within range. Although it's immobile, it works great!

It creates a Golem (a creature made out of rock) which will attack your enemies. It has it's own hit points, and is pretty strong, but it takes a lot of Mana.

This is just what it says, it heals other players in multi-player games.

This is a self-healing spell.

This is a good spell for the dungeons, but it has it's downfalls. It's like a fireball, but it only hurts undead enemies (skeletons, zombies, etc.). It's a good spell against the Skeleton King.

This will tell you the magical properties of those items with the blue text. It only comes in scrolls, but Cain can also identify items.

It makes a mini-explosion/flame blast in front of you that damages enemies.

This is a very useful spell. It lets you see the body heat monsters put off, thus letting you see enemies around corners and through walls (they appear in red). Unfortunately it is only found in scroll form.

It makes a lightning bolt that moves though enemies, and will damage anyone in it's path. It's a simpler version of Chain Lightning.

This is great for Sorcerers. It creates a sphere over your character which will cause any damage taken to reduce mana instead of health. It's good if you have a lot of mana and mana potions.

This is like an improved version of flash. It creates a ring of lightning around the character which extends out far and causes a lot of damage. Only available in scroll form.

It teleports your character to a random spot on your screen. It can take a few tries to get where you want to go.

This spell will bring back dead characters with 10% health. Obviously, it's only found in multi-player games.

It turns whatever it's cast on to stone (with the exception of other players and Diablo). It has a limited duration, and takes a lot of mana, so have some mana potions handy.

This spell allows you to open chests and doors from a distance, and to pick up items far away. At high levels, you can even push enemies away.

This spell teleports you to wherever you click on the screen. An improved version of Phasing.

This spell is extremely useful. Whenever you need to heal, repair items, or buy supplies, you can create a Town Portal and go back to the town. It disappears after going back down to continue fighting.
