Are there separate spell lists for the spellcasting classes?
Yes, but spells are presented differently than in previous editions of the game. In 3rd Edition, there is one unified spell chapter. Each spell indicates what classes can cast it, and at what level. A spell such as “Light” that can be cast both by Wizards and by Priests appears in the spell list once, and it works the same way for both types of spellcasters. However, when cast by a Wizard, the spell is considered an “arcane spell”, and when cast by a Priest, it is considered a “divine spell”. Priest and Wizards have mostly different lists. There are a handful of spells that are cast by both Arcane and Divine spellcasters, but they are the exception rather than the rule. There are spells in the list that can only be cast by one class (such as “Druid”), but they are the exception rather than the rule. There will be a “reverse index” so each class can quickly reference what spells they can cast and at what level.
