The Best Baldur S Gate 3 Spells

Sure, you might be able to hurl a Fireball at your enemies – it’s a classic move, after all – but there are hundreds of other spells that might take your Baldur’s Gate 3 foes by surprise, with a variety of positive, negative, and even hilarious results. Whichever of the Baldur’s Gate 3 classes or races you choose to play, you can have the option to cast spells thanks to multiclassing, so knowing which complements your other skills and abilities is essential. That said, here are all the BG3 spells available to magic users.

Best Baldur’s Gate 3 spells

Here are the best BG3 spells:

Speak with Animals Detect Thoughts Fireball Lesser Restoration

There are over 200 spells at launch, with over 600 confirmed by Larian to be added to the game overall. If you aren’t sure where to start with that, we’ve chosen a few of the best spells to get you started in Baldur’s Gate 3, whichever class you choose.

Speak with Animals

The ability to speak with animals might not be the first thing that springs to mind when considering spells, but thanks to the hilarious and varied gameplay in Baldur’s Gate 3, we can promise you will want Speak with Animals prepared when the time comes. It’s also one of the BG3 ritual spells, meaning you can use it as much as you like outside of combat – without using up valuable skill slots.

Detect Thoughts

Detect Thoughts is often a handy spell in Dungeons and Dragons and Baldur’s Gate, as it can get you out of some tricky situation against deceptive foes. Not sure if someone is with you or against you? Detect thoughts will tell you true…. if your roll succeeds.

Fireball

The classic DnD spell, Fireball has to be included as one of the best for its excellent damage. At just level 3, Fireball can deal up to 8d6 damage, one of the greatest amounts of damage at such a low level. It’s a must-have for any self-respecting sorcerer, wizard, or warlock.

Lesser Restoration

Lesser Restoration is a useful spell to have in your team comp, on your party’s Druid or Cleric. You should not be without some healing capabilities when you head out on an adventure – ensuring you have a low-level spell like Lesser Restoration available will allow anyone on your team to be healed of one status effect or other condition. It can also remove the Bloodless status effect, which might come in handy with Astarion around.

How to use spells in Baldur’s Gate 3

The first thing to bear in mind with spells is that you cannot cast any spell above at will. You will have the chance to choose a certain spell or spells at various levels of character creation and leveling and will be prompted when you can do so.
As tempting as it might be to hurl these Baldur’s Gate 3 spells around, you’re limited to your spell slots. To be able to use them again, you need to know how to rest in Baldur’s Gate 3. You might also want to check out our Baldur’s Gate 3 proficiency primer to create the best builds possible, and the full list of some of those BG3 status effects you might have read about above.
