S pells associated with the many new domains, circles, arcane
traditions, patrons, and pacts introduced in previous chapters are
detailed here. The spells are listed in alphabetical order, so you’ll need to
refer to specific spell lists to see which ones your character can use.

SPELL LISTS
The spell lists are organized by class. Each spell also indicates its school, tradition, domain, pact, or other
origin. Check with your GM to find out which spells are allowed in your campaign. Some GMs might allow only
spells associated with specific schools, domains, backgrounds, etc., or they might allow certain spells only to characters
who have a feat associated with that spell’s origin. On the other hand, some GMs may throw the doors wide open and allow
everything. In any case, it’s always best to ask first.
