Arcane divination, illusion, and universal spells that do not allow replication of the effects of other schools of magic generally belong on the magician spell list. Such spells should be magician spells of the same level at which they appear on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. Enchantment spells should be added only if similar to an existing magician spell.

Spells on the bard's spell list should generally be on the magician spell list unless the spell relates specifically to a bard special abilities, music, or other sonic effects (such as shape sound, sound burst, or shout). Magicians cast these spells should at the appropriate wizard spell level (if the spell on the wizard spell list), the cleric spell level (if the spell is on the cleric spell list but not the wizard list), or the bard spell level (otherwise).

The magician spell list below includes considers spells from the Player's Handbook and the new spells presented in this campaign sourcebook. If your campaign allows spells from other sourcebooks, use these guidelines to determine if spells from other sourcebooks should be considered magician spells.
