Creating New Spell Lists

The Spell List Manager creates new lists and merges existing ones. New and merged lists are stored in the module’s own compendium, so system content is never edited. Editing controls are described in the Spell List Manager Interface Overview.

Creating a list

Create Spell List dialog

Click Create List in the manager’s sidebar header. The dialog has these fields:

List Name: a blank name uses the class name or custom identifier.
Class: the class identifier the list belongs to. The dropdown offers every class found in your compendiums. Pick Custom… to type your own identifier in Custom Identifier.
Subclass Spell List: marks the list as a subclass list.

The new list appears in the Custom Spell Lists folder and opens with no spells. Add spells from the Available Spells panel, then click Save in the list header.

Merging lists

Merge Lists dialog

Click Merge Lists in the sidebar header and fill in:

Merge Into: New Merged List, or an existing merged list to add to instead of creating a new one.
Spell Lists to Merge: source lists. Hidden lists do not appear here. Pick at least 2 for a new merged list, or at least 1 when merging into an existing list.
Merged List Name: required for a new merged list.
Hide Source Lists after Merge: moves the source lists to Hidden Spell Lists. Player spell books are never hidden.

A new merged list appears in Merged Spell Lists and contains each spell from its sources once. Merging into an existing list adds the new sources’ spells to it in place. Later edits to a source list do not change the merged list. If a source list’s class identifier differs from the target’s, a warning names it.

Assigning a list to characters

A new list does not reach any character until you assign it. Open Spell Book Settings from the gear button in the character’s Spell Book sidebar, then pick the list in Class Spell List or Subclass Spell List. See Spell Book Settings.

The Add to Spell Registry checkbox does not assign a list to characters.
