Spellcasting (SLASH'EM)

Spellcasting in SLASH'EM is different from that in vanilla NetHack in a number of ways. SLASH'EM adds new spells, changes the difficulty of some existing spells, and has different limits on which roles can cast which spells.

SLASH'EM spellbooks
SLASH'EM spells, like vanilla ones, are organized into schools; but SLASH'EM has Protection instead of Clerical, and Body instead of Escape.

SLASH'EM spells are listed below, with the type and level the spell has in vanilla NetHack if that is different.

Roles and skills
SLASH'EM is generally more permissive than NetHack in terms of spell skill limits; several roles can reach at least Basic in all schools.

Roles and their skill limits are shown below.
