Enshrouded 1.0 has 61 regular staff spells, and they come from three places. You hand-craft 16 of them yourself. The Alchemist, Balthazar, makes 38, and the Collector, Alden Crowley, makes the remaining 7. Every one of them is cast with a Staff and spends Mana. Eternal spells never deplete their charges and use their own separate set of 41 recipes, so they are not covered here.
Quick answer: Hand-craft Fire Bolt and Mana Drain from your own crafting menu. Get almost everything else from the Alchemist under a roof. The Collector makes Bonestorm and Hollow Wretch.
Two kinds of spell: charges and channel
Each spell card tells you how the spell spends itself. Most spells run on charges, and their cards carry this line:
“Spell Charges: Depletes one charge per use. Equip the spell and use Mana to cast it with a Staff.”
Channel spells work differently. You hold the input and the spell keeps going. There are six channel spells: Mana Drain, Arc Lightning, Heal Cascade, Heal Beam, Shroud Beam and Bonestorm. Their cards read:
“Channel Spell: Equip the spell and use Mana to cast it with a Staff. Hold the input to channel it over time.”
The Type column in every table below shows which kind each spell is.

Fire Bolt and Mana Drain each come in eight tiers, from I to VIII. Fire Bolt I and Mana Drain I are in your hand-crafting menu from the start, once you have picked up Resin. New in 1.0, each higher tier is listed only at specific Flame levels: tier II at Flame level 2, III at 3, IV at 4 and V at 5, VI at levels 6 and 7, VII at 8, and VIII at 9 and up. You don’t need a station or a roof for any of these.
We saw this at our own base: when our Flame reached level 2, the game showed “FLAME LEVEL UP 2” together with “RECIPE UNLOCKED! Mana Drain II (+1 more)”. The second recipe in that notice is Fire Bolt II.

Fire Bolt I–VIII
Fire Bolt is a single-target projectile. Its card reads “Ignites a fire bolt projectile that deals damage to a single target.” Each craft gives you 20 charges. All 16 hand-crafted spells are also in our hand-crafting recipe list.

| Spell | Item level | Mana cost | Makes | Recipe | Shown in hand crafting at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Bolt I | 3 | 21 | 20 | 2 Resin | from the start, once you have Resin |
| Fire Bolt II | 5 | 29 | 20 | 4 Resin | Flame level 2 |
| Fire Bolt III | 12 | 50 | 20 | 4 Resin, 3 Amber | Flame level 3 |
| Fire Bolt IV | 17 | 65 | 20 | 4 Charcoal, 4 Amber | Flame level 4 |
| Fire Bolt V | 22 | 81 | 20 | 4 Lapislazuli, 4 Sulfur | Flame level 5 |
| Fire Bolt VI | 30 | 118 | 20 | 4 Amethyst, 4 Coal | Flame levels 6 to 7 |
| Fire Bolt VII | 38 | 143 | 20 | 4 Resin, 4 Aquamarine | Flame level 8 |
| Fire Bolt VIII | 47 | 158 | 20 | 4 Resin, 4 Diamond | Flame level 9 and up |
Mana Drain I–VIII
Its card reads “Releases a continuous magical beam that leeches Mana from enemies without dealing damage to them.” Mana Drain is a channel spell, and one craft makes one Mana Drain.

| Spell | Item level | Mana per second | Makes | Recipe | Shown in hand crafting at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mana Drain I | 3 | 7 per second | 1 | 5 Bones | from the start, once you have Resin |
| Mana Drain II | 5 | 10 per second | 1 | 2 Salt, 2 Midnight Lily | Flame level 2 |

| Mana Drain V | 22 | 19 per second | 1 | 8 Lapislazuli, 6 Shadowbloom | Flame level 5 |
| Mana Drain VI | 30 | 22 per second | 1 | 10 Amethyst, 6 Stapelia Starflower | Flame levels 6 to 7 |
| Mana Drain VII | 38 | 25 per second | 1 | 4 Aquamarine Dust, 8 Passionflower | Flame level 8 |
| Mana Drain VIII | 47 | 28 per second | 1 | 8 Moonstone, 4 Sparkling Dust | Flame level 9 and up |
Alchemist spells: Roof, station upgrades and recipe unlocks
The Alchemist (Balthazar) makes 38 spells. Before you can craft them, check these requirements (every recipe is also in our Alchemist recipe list):
- The Alchemist needs a sheltered spot, so all of these spells are crafted under a roof.
- Some recipes additionally call for an upgraded station set beside the Alchemist: a Mortar, Alchemy Station or Laboratory. If the entry is “None”, no station beyond the Alchemist is required.
- Owning the item shown makes its recipe available. If the table lists a spell after “or own,” acquiring that spell unlocks the recipe as well.
- Most Alchemist spells make 20 charges per craft. Entangle, Shock Wisp, Light Burst, Shroud Beam, Shroud Meteor and Protective Barrier make 50.

The Fire, Ice and Shock Totem cards all say the same thing about limits. By default you can have one totem at a time, and skills can raise that number.

Collector spells: Bonestorm and Hollow Wretch
The Collector, Alden Crowley (the survivor tied to the Hollow Halls), makes the last 7 spells. These are also crafted under a roof. Each craft makes 100, and each recipe appears once you own the item listed: an Ectoplasm item, Giant Bones or Icy Giant Bones. The same recipes are in our Collector recipe list.
