The '''Spell-Maker''' is a powerful tool for magic-using Daggerfall characters. Use of the Spell-Maker is the first benefit gained when a character joins the Mage's guild. With the Spell-Maker, characters can create customized spells with a wide variety of effects. For purposes of some quests, custom spells cannot substitute for Circinate ("canned") spells.▼

==Spell-Maker Basics==
Using the Spell-Maker, custom spells with up to three effects can be created. Depending upon the chosen effects of the spell, many parameters of these spells can be adjusted to a large degree. Besides the effects, the purchase cost and the casting cost are the most important considerations when creating custom spells.
The purchase cost is how much gold the character must spend to buy the custom spell. This is simply a function of the spell's power. The more power a spell packs, the more it costs to buy. There is no negotiation process for this price; the game simply calculates the cost of a spell as it is created.
The casting cost in Spell-Points is calculated for each spell according to two separate elements:
*Skill level in the applicable school(s) of magic of the character, ''and''
*The relevant attribute governing the skill in question.
The spell effects available in the spell-maker duplicate all of the effects of the circinate spells with a large degree of flexibility in several ways. ''Chance'' of effect, ''Duration'' and ''Magnitude'' of effect can all be manipulated, although not all effects can be manipulated in all three ways.
