"Spells" is an informal term for skills that are cast as magical attacks, rather than skills that modify weapon-based attacks. Spells are largely used by mage characters; the [[Wizard]] and [[Witch Doctor]] in Diablo III.
The term is nebulous; virtually everyone would agree that skills like [[Electrocute]] and [[Locust Swarm of Locusts]] are "spells" but skills like [[Ground Stomp]] and [[Impenetrable Defense]] might not be considered as such.
There's no game importance to the term; it's purely a piece of terminology.
==Spell Damage==
::This is all part of the D3 team’s plan to make all of the attributes useful to all characters, and to make more types of modifiers useful/essential to spell casters. We don’t know enough yet to judge how well it’s working, but it should be a substantial change from how spell damage was calculated and scaled up (or not) in D2.
The [[Scroll of Town Portal]] is not in Diablo III. It was, during much of the game's development, but was removed after the team decided that allowing an easy escape to town was defeating their efforts to make combat more meaningful and intense. See the Town Portal page for more details and quotes from the developers.
