What the Evocation school is built around

Evocation is the school of raw elemental energy. Fire, lightning, thunder, force, radiance, cold — Evocation builds spells around damage, light, and area effects. It's the school most players picture when they think 'wizard.'

How to use Evocation spells

How to use Evocation spells: position for the area. Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Wall of Fire, and Cone of Cold all benefit from setting up the geometry of the encounter so as many enemies as possible end up in the area. The school's weakness is friendly fire — almost every signature spell hits the caster's allies if they stand in the wrong place.

Signature Evocation picks

Signature picks: Magic Missile (level 1), Scorching Ray (level 2), Fireball (level 3), Lightning Bolt (level 3), Wall of Fire (level 4), Cone of Cold (level 5), Meteor Swarm (level 9). Evocation Wizards get Sculpt Spells — friendly-fire immunity that fully unlocks the school.
