Hogwarts Legacy allows your character to learn over a dozen spells. Some act as mechanical functions intrinsic to the core gameplay, whereas others are primarily for combat. Here’s our Hogwarts Legacy best spells guide to help you acquire all the skills your character could use.
Types of spells in Hogwarts Legacy
There are two primary classifications of spells in Hogwarts Legacy:
- Essential – These are considered “core” or “intrinsic” in that they’ll always be active once you obtain them. They offer new gameplay functions or mechanics.
- Equippable – These are spells that often require you to trace a pattern before you can learn them. You may then assign them to a spell slot. This category can be further subdivided based on school/color/usage (i.e., Control/yellow, Force/purple, Damage/red, Conjuring/light green, Utility/light blue, and Unforgivable Curse/dark green).
