	\| Summon Sphere \|\| Summons a random elemental sphere. This has equal odds to summon a [[flaming sphere]], [[freezing sphere]], or [[shocking sphere]]. This is blocked by the active effects of a [[dimensional lock]], or due to the summoned monster being extinct or genocided. If this spell is cast by the player or a tame monster, the sphere is generated tame. The sphere is always generated adjacent to the caster or as close as possible, and has a initial summon duration of 1d3 turns per spell damage die the caster possesses. This counts as a summon spell, and is blocked by the effects of a dimensional lock.		\| Summon Sphere \|\| Summons a random elemental sphere.

This is a much expanded list from the vanilla counterpart, and uses similar rules. {{frac\|9\|10}} of casts, or always when cast outside Gehennom, will use this summon list and quantity. If in Gehennom, has a {{frac\|10}} chance to instead summon demons identical to the Wizard of Yendor. This has a {{frac\|20}} chance to summon a [[demon prince]], {{frac\|5\|20}} ({{frac\|4}}) chance to summon a [[demon lord]], and otherwise summons a random normal demon {{frac\|16\|20}} ({{frac\|7\|10}}) of the time. If a normal demon is summoned, there's an additional {{frac\|4}} chance to summon two of them. The monsters summoned will always match the alignment of the caster in either case. If generic monsters are summoned rather than demons, they are marked as permanent summons. Demons generated via the secondary casting method are not summoned and will not disappear when the caster dies. In either case, this still counts as a summon spell, and is blocked by the effects of a dimensional lock.

	\| Summon Angel \|\| Summons a random [[Angel]] monster, with alignment matching the summoner. If this is cast by an maddened angel or an alienist, it becomes Summon Alien instead. If this is cast by a fallen angel, it becomes Summon Devil instead. If this is cast by Lamashtu or one of her faction, then the summoned angel also becomes part of her faction. However, this is moderately unlikely to do either of those last two options, since Summon Angel will never be cast if the caster is located in Gehennom. Summoned angels are marked as permanent summons. This counts as a summon spell, and is blocked by the effects of a dimensional lock. If cast by the player, is replaced with Open Wounds if there are appropriate targets available, otherwise is replaced with Cure Self.		\| Summon Angel \|\| Summons a random [[Angel]] monster, with alignment matching the summoner.

	Most regular spellcasting monsters have a cooldown on their ability to cast spells frequently, while much stronger casters (including most [[unique]] spellcasters) are able to cast without any cooldown. A character polymorphed into a monster can cast that monster's spells as part of their attack chain if they have the appropriate amount of energy: relatively unique or niche spells are replaced with fallbacks. <!--devel allows this to be disabled via #style-->		Most regular spellcasting monsters have a cooldown on their ability to cast spells frequently, while much stronger casters (including most [[unique]] spellcasters) are able to cast without any cooldown.

			=== Spell targeting & damage ===
	Spell targeting requirements vary based on the exact spell. Single-target spells (single-target direct damage spells, some buffs & debuffs) require being targeted at a specific monster. This means effects like displacement can throw off their targeting, causing the spell to miss entirely. However, does not apply to spells that target a location, including terrain manipulation spells, area of effect spells, summoning spells, or buffs and debuffs that apply in an area.

	Unless otherwise specified, all spell damage dealt is magical in nature and is affected by [[half spell damage]]. The exceptions to this are some spells that deal partially or entirely physical damage, like Geyser or Ice Storm, which use [[half physical damage]] for the physical component. Spells that rely on the damage dealt for the duration of status impairments, energy drain, or other effects will still take into account half spell damage for those effects.

			=== Summoning spells ===
	Summoning spells also often have special requirements to be cast, and their summoned creatures follow specific rules. With the exception of the Yellow Dead spell, no more than one summon spell can be cast on a single global turn, or round. This prevents more than one spellcaster from spawning enemies. This is designed to prevent summon swarms from getting out of hard. In addition, spellcasters can only summon a collective total level of monsters equal to their level. They can exceed this limit with a single summon spell, but will not be able to cast more until their total number of summoned creatures drops below that limit. Similarly, most summon spells are blocked by the effects of [[dimensional lock]]s, but this causes them to fail rather causing them to not be cast in the first place.

	===Spellcasting ~~Categories~~===		===Spellcasting categories===
	dNetHack sorts all forms of spellcasting into four categories - magical, divine (or clerical), psionic and elemental. Magical spellcasters usually include various demon casters and magicians. Divine spellcasters largely consist of clerical monsters, including those from ''NetHack''. Psionic spellcasters are typically eldritch and/or extraplanar beings such as [[star spawn]] and certain [[insight]] monsters, but are exceedingly rare outside of specific branches or quests. Elemental casters are typically very element-aligned monsters, such as Oona, ancients of ice, and certain Eladrin forms. Elemental casters do not cast typical monster spells, but will always cast either a ranged or melee version of their element.		dNetHack sorts all forms of spellcasting into four categories - magical, divine (or clerical), psionic and elemental.

However, does not apply to spells that target a location, including terrain manipulation spells, area of effect spells, summoning spells, or buffs and debuffs that apply in an area.

	The base damage dealt by monster spells is found in each monster's stat blocks, but is not directly shown to the player via in-game lookup. For most hostile casters, that damage is 0d6. Some low-level monsters (like various [[Rilmani]] & [[Elvenqueen (dNetHack)\|Elvenqueens]]) use d4s instead, and very powerful casters may use d8s ([[Deva#Mahadeva\|Mahadeva]], [[Illurien of the Myriad Glimpses]]), d10s ([[Wizard of Yendor]]), or even d12s ([[Demogorgon]]). The number of dice rolled is equal to the number in the statblock plus (the monster's level)/3, capped at 10 extra dice. Expect most relevant hostile casters near the end of the game to be around 8d6 damage per spell, or high level boss monsters to be dealing around 10d6.
