Spell is a Skill Tag in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Read on to learn what skills and gems that have the Spell tag, the affixes, Uniques, and what Spell is!

What is Spell?

Spell In-Game Description

Spells are skills that use raw magic to destroy your enemies. Attacks are not Spells.

Spells have their own base damage, cast speed, and Critical Hit chance determined by the skill. They do not benefit from a weapon's inherent damage, attack speed, or Critical Hit chance.
