Enshrouded 1.0: How to Get Every Spell (All 61 Spell Recipes and Where to Craft Them)

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.

Hand-crafted spells change with your Flame level

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.

When our Flame Altar reached level 4, the game showed “FLAME LEVEL UP” with a 4 alongside “RECIPE UNLOCKED! Mana Drain IV (+1 more)”. Fire Bolt IV is the other spell listed at Flame level 4 in the tables below.

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

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.

Fireball trades Fire Bolt’s single target for an area hit. Its card reads “Ignites a fireball projectile that erupts upon impact and deals damage in an area.”

Ice spells

Water is required for Ice spell recipes: each craft calls for either 2 or 10. Include that Water with the other crafting materials.

Spell	Type	Item level	Mana cost	Charge time	Makes	Recipe	Station upgrade needed	Recipe appears
Ice Bolt I	Spell charges	5	47	1 second	20	5 Shroud Liquid, 2 Water	None	Own Shroud Liquid (or own an Ice Bolt I)

Ice Totem II	Spell charges	38	58	0.7 seconds	20	2 Aquamarine Dust, 2 Shroud Sludge, 5 Mother-Of-Pearl, 10 Water	Laboratory	Own Shroud Sludge

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.

Lightning spells

Spell	Type	Item level	Mana cost	Charge time	Makes	Recipe	Station upgrade needed	Recipe appears
Chain Lightning I	Spell charges	12	65	1.2 seconds	20	4 Bonemeal, 1 Copper Bars, 20 Flintstone, 4 Resin	Mortar	Own Copper Bars

Shock Totem II	Spell charges	38	41	0.7 seconds	20	5 Shroud Sludge, 1 Iron Dust, 1 Gold Bars, 1 Green Vitriol Dust	Laboratory	Own Shroud Sludge

Ball Lightning I is the one Alchemist spell not tied to an item: its recipe appears when the Alchemy Station becomes craftable.

Healing and barrier spells

Heal Cascade I	Channel	5	8	1 second	20	2 Aureolin Flower, 5 Bonemeal, 1 Aerated Banshee Gel	None	Own Bonemeal (or own a Heal Cascade I)

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.

Spell	Type	Item level	Mana cost	Charge time	Makes	Recipe	Recipe appears
Bonestorm I	Channel	15	19	0.5 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Fragment, 50 Bones	Own Ectoplasm Fragment
Bonestorm II	Channel	20	25	0.5 seconds	100	30 Ectoplasm Fragment, 60 Bones	Own Giant Bones
Bonestorm III	Channel	27	31	0.5 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Shard, 1 Giant Bones	Own Ectoplasm Shard
Bonestorm IV	Channel	35	45	0.5 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Crystal, 1 Giant Bones	Own Ectoplasm Crystal
Bonestorm V	Channel	38	55	0.5 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Cluster, 1 Icy Giant Bones	Own Ectoplasm Cluster
Hollow Wretch I	Spell charges	17	102	2 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Fragment, 50 Bones	Own Giant Bones
Hollow Wretch II	Spell charges	44	231	2 seconds	100	20 Ectoplasm Cluster, 1 Icy Giant Bones	Own Icy Giant Bones

Bonestorm is a channel spell. Its card reads “Conjures a flurry homing bone projectiles that hunt down enemies with crushing force.” Hollow Wretch is a summon. Its card reads “Summons a Hollow Wretch ally that attacks enemies. Maximum amount of summoned Hollow allies is 1 by default which can be increased via skills.” The skills are in our Mage skill list.

Which spell hits hardest in each element

Every spell card shows a Damage number for the spell’s own item level, next to its Mana cost. The table below lists both for every damage spell in this guide, grouped by element. For spells that hit once per cast, the last column divides the card damage by the Mana cost, which is the fairest way to compare them: it tells you how much damage each point of Mana buys. Channel spells deal their damage while you hold the input, and totems, wisps, pillars, Blizzard, Ball Lightning, Acid Bite and Hollow Wretch deal theirs over a duration or an area, so a per-cast ratio would undersell them and is left blank.

Element	Spell	How it deals damage	Item level	Card damage	Mana cost	Damage per Mana (single cast)
Fire	Fire Bolt I	Single cast	3	19	21	0.90
Fire	Fire Bolt II	Single cast	5	23	29	0.79

Fire: Fireball has the biggest single hit of any regular spell: 302 damage at item level 47 for Fireball IV, against 109 for Fire Bolt VIII at the same level. Fireball is also the better deal on Mana at every tier (Fireball I 1.77 damage per Mana, Fire Bolt III 0.76 at a similar level) and hits an area, so Fire Bolt’s case is its charge time of under a second (2.5 seconds for Fireball) and the fact that you hand-craft it with no Alchemist.

Ice: Ice Bolt is the ice damage spell, from 31 damage (Ice Bolt I) to 147 (Ice Bolt IV). It hits for less than Fireball at the same level (Ice Bolt IV 147 against Fireball IV 302), but every Ice Bolt card carries a slow (80% on Ice Bolt IV), so it is the pick when you need an enemy to stop reaching you rather than the most damage.

Shock: Chain Lightning II has the highest Shock hit at 200 damage (item level 47), and Ball Lightning II deals 180 at item level 30 over its 7-second duration. Chain Lightning I gives 0.98 damage per Mana at item level 12, a little above Ice Bolt II (0.86) at the same level.

Shroud: Shroud Meteor hits for 197 at item level 27 (1.08 per Mana) and, like Shroud Beam, its card lists 4 minutes of Time in the Shroud as a cost, so each cast takes time off your Shroud timer.

Put together: for raw damage per cast, Fireball leads every tier it exists at, Chain Lightning and Ice Bolt follow, and the slow on Ice Bolt is the reason to carry it next to a Fireball. Mage skills that raise one element’s damage change these numbers, so the comparison holds between spells of the same element and for a character with no element skills.

Healing spells compared

Six regular spells heal or protect: Heal Cascade I and II, Chain Heal I and II, Heal Beam and Protective Barrier. Their recipes and stations are in the Healing and barrier table above; this table puts their cost side by side:

Spell	Type	Item level	Mana cost	Charge time	Barrier
Heal Cascade I	Channel	5	8	1 seconds	–
Chain Heal I	Spell charges	12	38	1 seconds	–
Heal Beam	Channel	27	22	1.6 seconds	–
Chain Heal II	Spell charges	35	58	1 seconds	–
Protective Barrier	Spell charges	38	260	4 seconds	Shield Health 1200, lasts 45 seconds
Heal Cascade II	Channel	47	14	1 seconds	–

What each card says it does decides the pick more than the numbers do. Heal Cascade is the only heal whose card says it reaches you as well as your allies:

Releases continuous healing projectiles that automatically seek you and your allies.

Chain Heal (38 Mana per charge on Chain Heal I, 58 on Chain Heal II) and Heal Beam both name allies only: Chain Heal “releases a mending ray that automatically seeks nearby allies”, and Heal Beam “releases an aimed mending ray that continuously heals allies within”. Going by the cards, Heal Cascade is the healing spell for a solo player, and Chain Heal and Heal Beam are for healing a group. Heal Cascade and Heal Beam are channel spells, so their Mana cost is spent while you hold the input and is not comparable one to one with a Chain Heal charge.

Protective Barrier does not heal. At 260 Mana it conjures a shield with 1,200 Shield Health that lasts 45 seconds; its card reads:

Conjures a magical shield that blocks and absorbs incoming projectiles until its health is depleted. You and your allies also gain 25% increased Physical Resistance within the barrier.

Eternal spells

Eternal spells never deplete charges and come from their own 41 recipes at the Alchemist and the Collector, listed in our Eternal spells guide. For what the nine spells added in 1.0 do in a fight, see every new mage spell in 1.0, and for a full caster setup our mage build.
