Divination enchantment evocation illusion necromancy and transmutation learning about what each school can do can help you become the magical master you always wish to be am duration is the study of protective magic these spells can shield you from harm ward off trespassers from your sacred places and even banish creatures

To other planes of existence famous spells from this school include shield banishment and anti-magic field harness the weave with abduration magic and ensure the safety of yourself and your colleagues better safe than sorry conjuration is the study of external planes of existence and the paths between them to understand the nature of

Another realm is a tricky subject and so are summonings the stronger creature you wish to conjure the more power and care you must take to ensure all goes smoothly for example the find familiar spell is a famous conjuration spell it summons a little spirit that takes on

The form of an owl rabbit or a pseudo-dragon or a closet to do minor tasks for you these spirits are easy to control but more powerful beings such as elementals from the planes of the four elements have to be bound to you with certain binding words if those binding words are

Not properly spoken or you lose your concentration on the spell then the beast is free sometimes it will go back home sometimes it will attack the one who summoned it still a well-timed conjuration of a celestial or an elemental can turn the tide of combat walk the paths between the realms with

Conjuration just remember to speak the binding words divination with this magic one can see into the future gaze upon the streams of time and space you can see what has happened or is yet to be and you can know of events happening hundreds of leagues away right now common divination spells include

Scrying identify and divination of course reveal the unseen with the divination school of magic enchantment magic is the power to overwhelm the mind itself through the weave enchanters control minds influence emotions and even read the thoughts of others you can turn your enemy into a loyal friend common enchantment spells include friends

Confusion and dominate monster command the very minds of all with enchantment magic but understand those you attempt to enchant will be aware of the enchantment if they resist your magic and do not take over the minds of teachers to get better grades i already have a whole semester i can’t remember

Evocation magic a fan favorite to command magic in its purest form is to wield powerful energy and unleash devastation on the battlefield the most famous of all evocation spells is fireball channeling magic into an orb of flame that explodes like a bomb on impact but not all evocation magic is destructive

Make you see and hear things that aren’t there and some can even plant images into the minds of others illusions are great at getting out of a bad spot avoiding fights altogether and finding the cleverest of solutions to your problems common illusion spells are minor illusion and the ever useful invisibility spell

Please note that the use of invisibility is forbidden on college rounds if the school of evocation magic is the most well known then the school of necromancy is the most infamous while this school of magic can be used to summon the undead through the ever infamous anime dead spell that’s not its

Truest nature necromancy in its purest form is the study of life and death and the connections between the two necromancers can harness this connection through the weave indeed one may raise zombies and skeletons to do their bidding but one can also use spells such as spare the dying and resurrection to

Bring the dead back to life not as the undead but as the beings they once were be careful where you practice necromancy not all in the world are as enlightened as we here at stricthaven and the summoning of undead is often punished by imprisonment or death the final school is a personal favorite

Of mine transmutation with this magic you learn to alter the properties of the environment objects creatures even people if you wish the most famous transmutation spell is polymorph you can change a frog into a dinosaur or a human into a lion the plant growth spell can summon a whole
