Spells in Three Hopes are essentially combat arts for tomes. They have all of the same characterstics, including might categories, durability costs, and cooldowns. For an explanation of the mechanics, head to the combat arts page.

There are a couple of minor differences between spells and combat arts. Most obviously, spells deal damage based on magic and resistance rather than attack and defense. Additionally, spell usage is not tied to having a tome equipped. Instead, like in Three Houses, the ability to use magic depends on what class a unit is in. The magic-capable classes are listed below.

Using spells will remove durability from whatever weapon is equipped, regardless of whether or not it is a tome. For example, is Fluegel Shez uses Level 1 Blizzard, it will remove 10 durability from whatever sword is equipped.
