Arcane Quest Legends Spells Guide: Every Hero Spell
July 18, 2026
Spells are the heart of every build in Arcane Quest Legends. Each hero draws from a spell school, and how you spend your skill points decides whether you melt packs of enemies from range, tank hits at the front, or keep your party alive through the toughest quests. This guide lists every hero spell in the game, grouped by school, with the mana cost, cooldown, unlock level and effect you get at level 1 — plus what each rank adds when you upgrade it.
All numbers are pulled straight from the game data, so you can plan a build before spending a single skill point.
How spells work
- Schools. Spells are organized into schools — Wrath, Elemental, Holy, Ranger, Masteries. Which ones you can use depends on your hero class.
- Unlocking. Every spell has a minimum hero level before you can learn it. The stronger the spell, the later it unlocks.
- Upgrading. Spending points raises a spell’s rank, increasing its numbers up to a maximum level. The “per level” note on each spell below shows what each rank adds.
- Mana & cooldown. Active spells cost mana and go on cooldown after casting. Passive spells are always on, and toggle spells stay active while enabled, so neither uses a cooldown.
Use the schools below to jump to the spells that fit your hero.

Building around your spells
A few rules of thumb once you know the full spell list:
- Lead with what unlocks early. Spells available from low levels that scale to high max levels keep paying off — points invested early compound.
- Don’t spread too thin. Maxing a few core spells beats sprinkling single points across many. Check each spell’s max level before committing.
- Match your school to your gear and stats. Damage spells scale with the stats your build already invests in.
- Keep a mana budget. High-cost spells hit hard but drain mana fast — pair them with mana regen or potions.
