	== ~~[[Template:Attack spell\|Attack~~ Spell]] ==		== Determining Spell Type ==

			Ask yourself the following questions, in order. If the answer is "yes," the spell belongs to that type. If the answer is "no," move to the next question.

			* Does the spell itself make a combat check ([[AS]] vs [[DS]], [[CS]] vs [[TD]], or [[maneuver]]) whether hidden or not? If so, it is an [[Help:Style (spell templates)#Attack Spell\|attack spell]].
			* Does it add directly to DS or TD of any kind? Does it add directly to "maneuver defense?" If so, it is a [[Help:Style (spell templates)#Defensive Spell\|defensive spell]].
			* Does it add directly to AS or CS or any kind? Does it add directly to "maneuver attack?" If so, it is an [[Help:Style (spell templates)#Offensive Spell\|offensive spell]].
			* Does it enhance skills or statistics, transport characters, create magical items, add or remove a status effect, heal or expedite regeneration of any kind, summon a 'pet,' or provide another special or unusual ability? Does it simply '''not''' apply to any of the previous questions? It must then be an [[Help:Style (spell templates)#Utility Spell\|utility spell]].

			Once a spell is determined to be of a particular type, determine which sub-templates (or "modules") apply. <u>It is possible for a spell template to contain multiple modules and/or modules of types other than the type of spell itself.</u> Refer to each template/module description for which fields apply to the properties of a particular spell.
