The release and songwriting credits for The Spell used only Doroschuk's first name.

The Spell was the only solo album that Doroschuk released.

He recorded demos for an intended solo follow-up, Mote in God's Eye, some of which were worked into the 2003 album No Hats Beyond This Point and released under the name of Men Without Hats.

[citation needed] Two singles from the album, "Open Your Eyes" and "Superbadgirls", were released with music videos.

Writing for AllMusic, Aaron Badgley wrote that the album was a "disappointing affair", referring to "Superbadgirls" as "embarrassing."
