Seal

A variation of a Shield that is more of a wall than an orb. Can sustain infinite damage, unlike a Shield, but may prove more difficult to cast.

I put a Seal on the door for neatness' sake.

Illumination

A spell that creates an orb of golden light, useful for seeing in dark areas, but usually for humans as spirits have perfect night vision.

"Can you cast an Illumination?"
"Only if you want us to be spotted."

Charm

Deludes the mind, but its precise integration is unknown. Can be used to befuddle humans or disguise objects. Likely it simply manipulates the mind.

"She used a Charm, and I don't remember what I said."

Shield

A shimmering blue orb that encircles a selected area. Repels physical objects and magic alike with the exception of silver objects.

The bullet passed clean through my Shield and exited on the other side.

"What kind of Shield do you call that?"

"They're using silver bullets."

Inferno

A spell that envelopes its target in green flames; however, unlike a Detonation, it is more of a burning fire than an explosive one. Useful for burning people with magical resilience, whose clothes can still burn.

"It could have been an Inferno, except that the edges around the hole aren't singed."
