Spell (Legends of Runeterra)

 Skills are NOT Spells, but they share many mechanics with Spells which are explained here, it will be specified if mechanics apply to them too.

 Spells are a type of non- unit card that can be  played to trigger an effect. Spell cards are indicated by a round frame around the artwork, rounded artwork, and text below the artwork, rather than on it.

Mechanics

To play a spell card, a player must pay the  Mana cost. If the player has any  Spell Mana left, the spell will use up Spell Mana before tapping into normal Mana. To play a non- Burst spell, the Button needs to be pressed to play and commit.

Spell Stack

If a player commits a  Slow or  Fast spell, or a  Skill is committed, a spell stack starts. Each player then takes turn playing Fast or  Burst spells until one player doesn't  play a spell and passes. Only 10 Fast or Slow spells can be on the stack at a time. It is possible for a spell higher on the stack to nullify one below, such as by removing a unit that it requires to trigger its effect, or by the former's effect preventing the latter spell from casting.

PENDING FOR TEST Can you play Burst spells when the stack is full?

When both players don't play a spell and pass instead during a spell stack, the spells all cast, in the order of the last spell played occurring first (hence the name). If the outcome has no randomness, a player can use the Oracle's Eye to view how the current spell stack will resolve.^[1]

Play Requirements

Main article:  Play

Spells will usually require that their specified condition to cast be met at the time they are played, to play, even if it would be met after the spells before it on the Stack cast.

On the Wiki, an effort is being made to note where this applies and where it doesn't in card descriptions. If occasions where it is not noted are found, please note them by editing Module:LoRData/data.

Fizzling

 Spell

 Skill

 obliterated

 resolves

Spells and Skills on the stack that require a condition to cast that is no longer fulfilled or all of the targets of are no longer valid at the time they are reached on it, will Fizzle.

Type of spells

Speed

There are 3 different speeds of Spell cards which dictates when they can be played. The speed of a card is indicated by an icon on the top-left of the card, the shape of the border of the card, and the keyword on the top of the card text.

•  Slow
  • EditSlow  spells can only be  played outside of combat and when not reacting to an enemy spell. The enemy can respond with their own spells. Only one Slow spell can be cast at a time, but any number of faster spells can be played alongside them, but they will always cast before it.
•  Fast
  • EditFast  spells can be  played at any time during the user's turn, multiple can be played in a turn, and they can be played alongside a  Slow spell, though they have to be above it on the stack. Fast spells allow the opponent to respond with their own spells.

    Fast spells committed while  attacking are responded to (for the first response) at the same time as  blockers are committed. Further responses happen before the attackers  strike.

•  Burst
  • EditBurst  spells resolve instantly. The enemy can't act before it finishes.
    
    They can be cast at any time during the user's turn. They do not add to the stack, create a stack, or end the caster's turn, they commit and  cast as soon as they are declared without a chance to confirm nor react.

     Skills can appear to be Burst, but they are responded to the same as  fast spells.

Unit-Generated

Some units can trigger spells or create spell cards. Some spells are unique to specific units. Here are some unit-generated spells:

• Mystic Shot: Ezreal can create these with his ability, but this card is also collectable.
• Final Spark: Lux can create these with her ability, and the card isn't otherwise collectable.

Champion Spells

While there is a  Champion in play, all copies of that card in hand turn into a 'Champion Spell' card. This card is a variant of an existing collectable spell card that will also shuffle the champion into the deck when cast, in addition to its usual effect. These cards transform back into champions as soon as the champion is no longer in play.
