Forspoken Magic Types [All Explained]

Forspoken is a new RPG game set in the magical lands of Athia, where you’ll have to learn magic in order to survive and thrive. With the help of Cuff, your main character Frey can use different kinds of magic to fight enemies. There are four different magic types in Forspoken, but with so much spell variety, it can get a bit confusing. So, in this guide, we’ll teach you all you need about Forspoken magic types.  

Forspoken Magic Types

In Forspoken, there are a total of 105 spells spread across four different magic types. Each magic type has different categories ranging from attack, support, movement and passive spells. In order to unlock each magic type, you need to defeat bosses known as Tantas. 

All the bosses have their own unique Forspoken magic types that they will use against you, but once you defeat them, you will unlock the ability to use their magic. Also, learn about different spells in this guide.
