Spell List Manager Interface Overview

The Spell List Manager creates, edits, and merges the spell lists that characters draw spells from. Lists are assigned to characters in Spell Book Settings.

Opening the manager

GM and Assistant GM users open it with the Spell List Manager button at the bottom of the Compendium sidebar tab.

The detach button in the manager’s header moves it into its own browser window. Dialogs opened from the manager follow it.

Sidebar

Spell lists

The sidebar groups every spell list into folders:

Folder	Contents
Player Spell Books	Spell books the module keeps for individual characters.
Granted Spell Lists	Per-actor lists of spells granted by species and feats.
Custom Spell Lists	Lists made with Create List.
Merged Spell Lists	Lists made with Merge Lists.
Modified Spell Lists	Edited copies of stock lists.
Spell Lists	Stock lists from the system and other modules.
Hidden Spell Lists	Lists you hid with the eye icon on their row.

Hover a row to see its source and spell count. Stock lists whose spells all come from sources disabled in the Compendium Browser are left out, and the footer shows how many.

Click a list to open it. The sidebar switches to filters for the Available Spells panel. Back to Lists closes the list and discards unsaved changes.

By Spell

The By Spell toggle above the folders assigns spells to many lists at once.

1. Select spells in Available Spells. Shift-click selects a range.
2. The right panel ticks every list that holds all selected spells and marks lists that hold only some.
3. Tick or untick lists, then click Apply and confirm.

Stock lists changed this way are copied and hidden, the same as saving edits to them. The Hide Actor Spell Books checkbox removes player spell books from the right panel.

Editing a list

The left panel shows compendium spells not already on the list. The right panel shows the list’s spells grouped by level.

• Add a spell with its + button or by dragging it to the right panel.
• Remove a spell with its trash button or by dragging it to the left panel.
• Click Save in the list header to write your changes.

Selecting another list or closing the manager discards unsaved changes. Saving a stock list copies it instead of changing it; see Modifying Existing Spell Lists.

List header

Button	Shown on
Add to Spell Registry (checkbox)	Every list. See Spell registry.

Selection mode

The checkmark button in the footer turns on selection mode for bulk edits.

1. Click rows in either panel to queue them. Shift-click selects a range.
2. Click the save button in the footer and confirm.
3. Click Save in the list header to write the changes.

The footer’s cancel button or Escape clears the selection.

Spell comparison

When the Compare button is enabled in Details Customization, spell rows show a scale icon. Clicking it on two or more spells opens the Spell Comparison window.

The footer’s palette button opens Details Customization. The question-mark button opens built-in help.

Spell registry

Add to Spell Registry adds the list to the system’s spell list registry. The Compendium Browser and other modules read the registry to tell which lists a spell belongs to. The registry does not assign lists to characters.

Saving a list turns this checkbox on for that list. Turning it off takes full effect after a world reload.
