Encyclopaedia Formulae Arcana - B

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Did you ever wonder, "What happened to that spell I used to use all the time in our 3rd Edition game?"

You look through your 5e Player's Handbook. Not there. You look through your other 5e books. Nope. Not there either.

Look no more!


Coming over the course of 2019—and possibly 2020—is

ComicBook.com says: "This is an insanely impressive document...a must have"


Fantasy Grounds conversion NOW AVAILABLE! Get it HERE!


What is this, anyway? This is the second installment of a series of books which converts every spell we can find from 1st, 2nd, 3.x, and 4th editions, updates and prepares them for use in your 5th Edition game.

Are the spells ready for play? Painstaking effort has been taken to balance each spell for 5th Edition play. The last thing any table needs is overpowered—or underpowered—magic.

What sources were used? It's easier to tell you what didn't find its way into these books. If a spell isn't in here, it's because it's a spell

  • already released in an official 5e hardback     
  • which duplicates a 5e class/subclass abilities
  • which has no mechanical impact in 5e, such as those which target alignment
  • which deal damage not encompassed by 5e's design, such as those impacting ability scores
  • from Dragon Magazine (because I don't have a complete collection)

This is the second volume. More than 200 spells beginning with "B"!

Periodically over the coming months, look for other entries in the Encyclopaedia. We're shooting for a frequency of 1 volume per month, depending on how many emails we get telling us about a spell we omitted from a previous edition. There's a link at the author's website where you can sign up for an email list to keep informed.

Also comes with a PRINT FRIENDLY copy so you can copy and paste the text into the spell-card generator or fillable PDF of your choice, giving you flexibility at the game table!

Great book. These spells are listed in the spell lists, but I don't see them in the book:

Blinding Glory
Blinding Spittle
Bury the Dead

There is a syntax error in the Bewilder spell: " If a target is immune to the charmed condition, it is are immune to this spell."

My players and I love this series!

One thing I noticed is an issue with Brutish Construct. It's in the spell list, but there's no spell description. Very curious as to what this spell is all about...

Well, dang. That's one we struck from the list because it didn't translate at all well to 5e. I thought we'd removed all references to it. Sorry!

Love the books!

I did note some Errata that needs corrections:

Blinding Glory:
I can't find the spell in the book
Plus typo of GLory

Breath of Stars:
Listed as 9th level under Cleric, but is 7th under description

Boreal Wind:
List as 5th level under Cleric, but 4th level under description

Blood Mantle:
Range listed as 120', but description seems to imply only SELF

Blistering Radiance:
Range is 180' but seems to lack area of affect at that range? 20' sphere? Visibility 60'? Not sure

This isn't exhaustive of course. I play a cleric so I paid attention to that progression of spells.

Thanks for that, Blake! I'll make sure your observations are corrected.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
