Magic lists
 

I find myself - as I get drawn into the game more and more - needing to find a spell quickly not as they are sorted in the manual, but by effect. As I enjoy playing with every nation (except Pangea - can't get that to work out for some reason), I don't have a standard strategy (yet), so I am constantly trying new things and adapting to whom Iface in game. Now, I started on making an Excel list where I could group spells not on school or path (or gems used) but on effect. I like to know where to find all protection enhancing spells at a glance.

Is there such a list? I don't enjoy re-inventing the wheel, though I'll persist if it does not exist already.

There is a tool for DomII that fulfills this exact purpose. The Grimorie hasn't been updated to Dom3, but only few spells' effects have changed, and nothing dramatically. Still, it's better to always double-check the spells, because e.g. Reascendance is now Marignon-only.

Cheers - I did see that one, and it's indeed what I need - but as a new player I need it to be up to date. i am sure for veterams that one fits the bill (hell, if they even need it at all), but I need more information unfortunately.

Thanks for the trouble taken.

If, by effect, you mean literally *effect #* (as opposed to purpose), there's such a list in the mod forum:

The attachment includes a spreadsheet which tells you *exactly* what each and every spell in the game does, once you know how to interpret the effect #s. If you sort by effect and do a secondary sort by damage, all of the buffs of the same type will appear together, but different classes of protection spells (mass regenerate vs. arrow fend) will not necesarilly appear together.

At the very least it should be a good starting point for the list you describe.

It is, thanks. I think you included descriptions of the effects, so I can work from there - that does save me a lot of OCR-ing. Much obliged.
