All Spells in Hogwarts Legacy
Many spells exist in Hogwarts Legacy that range in strength and usage.

However, damage spells are often versatile and can be used to uncover hidden items in specific situations.
Below is a list of every spell and charm you’ll encounter in Hogwarts Legacy:

How to Unlock New Spells
As you progress through the main story, you’ll naturally gain more spells required to advance further. Most abilities are ones you’ll find in main story quests or during your class assignments. However, while some are available within the first few hours of playing, others are locked until the mid- or even late-game. You’ll also gain some spells, like the Unforgivable Curses, by completing relationship quests with your classmates.
How to Increase Spell Slots
At the start of Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll have four slots you can equip spells to at any given moment. Given there are 34 spells in the game, this can feel rather limiting, but luckily, you’ll be able to increase the amount of spells you can equip pretty early on.
To increase the number of spell slots in Hogwarts Legacy, access the Talents menu in your Field Guide after completing the Jackdaw’s Rest main story quest. In the Core talent tree, you’ll have the option to upgrade your spell slots three times—twice at level 5, and once at level 16. Each time you upgrade your spell slots, they’ll increase by four. So if you get all three upgrades, you’ll have a maximum of 16 spell slots you can equip spells to.
