Each spell was based off a SW power and either used it exactly as written, or modified the range, area of effect, duration, damage and/or cost. I'm not as good as JB, Clint and a variety of others at this kind of thing, but I came out to 40 Novice level spells, 36 Seasoned spells, 24 Veteran spells, 12 Heroic spells and 8 Legendary spells for Magic Users (and cut some spells from the lists). For Savage Worlds, that is a HUGE spell list. (I have similar spell lists for Clerics and Monks, although not anywhere near as numerous, plus a Monks "powers" list.) That isn't to say that SW has that many powers - it doesn't - just that where there weren't straight maps (Slumber = Sleep, Wall Walker = Spider Climb) I used the Trappings idea to repurpose powers for different spells. And sometimes I used a straight map at one level (Teleport) and then modified it upwards at a higher level (Greater Teleport).Bolt is a good example: at Novice it is used for Magic Missile, limited to a single 2d6 bolt, at Seasoned it is used for Melf's Magic Arrows, shooting 1-3 2d6 bolts, and Veteran it is used for Superior Magic Missile, allowing 1-3 3d6 bolts. I do similar things with Burst - Burning Hands limited to 2", Cone of Cold, Lightning Bolt (using a lightning template instead of a cone) and Psychic Blast. Here is an example of the 1st level Wizards spells. Powers are in parenthesis if there isn't a named correlation, and another column - not shown, by indicated by a * - shows any modifications to the standard power, such as above.Bigby's Interposing Hand (Barrier)Blinding FlashBlur (Deflection)Burning Hands (Burst*)DarksightDetect Good/Evil (Detect Arcana*)Detect Magic (Detect Arcana*)Dig (Burrow)Elemental ManipulationFarsightFascinate (Dazzle)Feather FallIdentifyIgniteJump (Leaping)Knock (Open)Lesser Fog Cloud (Obscure)LightMage Armor (Armor)Mage Shield (Arcane Shield)Magic Arrow (Guiding Hand)Magic Missile (Bolt*)Magic Weapon (Smite)Mend (Mend*)Minor Illusion (Illusion*)Minor Phantasms (Phantasms*)Monster Summoning, Lesser (Conjure Animal*)Mystic Servant (Bodyguard)Nystul's Magical Aura (Magic Aura)Ogre's Strength (Raise Trait)Ray of Enfeeblement (Lower Trait*)Resist Elements (Environmental Protection)Scare (Fear)Sleep (Slumber)Spider Climb (Wall Walker)Tenser's Floating Disc (Telekinesis*)Tongue TiedUndetectable Aura (Conceal Aura*)Wizad Lock (Lock)Wizard Eye (Wandering Senses)</blockquote>
