Set your options and generate spell ideas
In Dungeons & Dragons, spells define how magic works at your table — damage, control, healing, divination, and everything between. A spell generator speeds up homebrew design when you need fresh ideas instead of reskinning the same official list.
This tool is built for dungeon masters and players who want structured spell concepts fast. Each roll gives you a naming hook, mechanical profile, and effect summary you can turn into balanced homebrew or NPC abilities.
Three steps from idea seed to table-ready draft.
Choose how many spell concepts to generate in one batch (1–20).
Roll from any spell level or narrow to cantrip and levels 1–9.
Roll spell ideas, copy the list, then adapt mechanics for your campaign.
