Spell Law

Spell Law is a role-playing game supplement first published by Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE) in 1981 and written by Peter C. Fenlon, Jr., S. Coleman Charlton, and Terry K. Amthor, with Steven E. Moffat.

It received mixed reviews in game periodicals including Ares, Different Worlds, The Space Gamer, and Dragon.

Spell Law was written by Peter C. Fenlon, Jr., S. Coleman Charlton, and Terry K. Amthor, with Steven E. Moffat, and was published by Iron Crown Enterprises in 1981 as a boxed set with four 24-page books and 8 sheets of tables.

(Character classes who are not "pure" spellcasters, such as paladins and rangers, can never learn spells above 5th level.)

Walker concluded that the sheer number of spells and the logical method of learning them "make it worth the purchase price, if they are what your game requires.
