Spell

Spells are offensive abilities that deal damage to targets based on damage defined by skill gems. Skills that deal spell damage have a Spell gem tag.

Spell damage is one of four Damage sources.

Spell Damage Item Mod Prefixes

Spell Damage is available as three different families of Item Affixes, all of which are prefixes:

• Spell Damage
• Weapon Spell Damage
• Weapon Spell Damage and Mana

The Spell Damage prefix is only found on amulets. The other two families of prefixes are found on wands, daggers, sceptres, int-only shields, and staves. The Spell Damage bonus on a staff has as higher range than the same prefix on one-handed items.

In addition, most wands come with an implicit modifier for increased Spell Damage.

Righteous Fire adds more Spell Damage to your other spells while it is in effect.
