Spells are both a way to communicate with the otherwordly beings such as spirits, and to affect to the mundane environment with magical means. There are spells to seek favour in hunting and fishing, sacrificies to keep the nature spirits pleased, means to follow in order to assure ones livelihood, and so on. The ways how the unseen can affect the tangible world are numerous and varied.

Spells and magic means, sometimes referred to as rituals, allow players to keep supernatural guardians of the spirit world satisfied and to influence their odds at succeeding in many tasks. All characters start the game with knowledge to perform a General Sacrifice, as well as knowledge of the Bear Skull Rite in addition to two other spells. Characters are also capable of many rites and magic means even if they are not listed in the Spells and magic means interface, and characters are always affected by their standing with spirits even when performing mundane tasks and generally living their life. Magic is not a separate element of Unreal World, but intricately part of it.

Most spells and magic means are taught by people in the Unreal World as reward for assisting them in quests. Some spells are made available to the player only during specific quests, and a few spells can only be used effectively as part of a quest.

Spells and magic means

Spells and magic means interface can be opened by pressing the F4 key and provides the player with list of available rituals. All players begin the game with knowledge of General Sacrifice, Bear Skull Rite, and two additional spells available to their culture.

The list of spells in the interface is separated into green incantations and yellow magic means. Green spells consist of immediate incantations or interactions that may or may not have their own sub-interactions such as choosing an edible item as General Sacrifice.

Spells listed with yellow color are performed through mundane actions and items such as pushing a bear's skull to lone pine tree to ensure proper circulation of its spirit to the afterlife or wearing specific type of mittens for improved effectiveness during hunting. Most of these spells can be practiced even when the character has no knowledge of them.

List of incantations

Incantations can be initiated from the interface and are available at all times, even when their use would be inappropriate.

List of magic means

Rituals performed with mundane actions and circumstances. Some magic means are only available or needed during specific quests.

Legacy rituals

In older versions of the game, Ritual was a skill available to player character, and following rituals were available as incantations in addition to many unlisted magic means.
