Most Spells can be found in Chests or dropped from certain Enemies.

To unlock a spell, first equip an Ancient Arts Scroll to your tool bar before holding and consuming it.

Spell Essence

Some Spells can be acquired in their Spell Essence form. Spells in their Spell Essence state do not reveal their contents so it is important to keep track of your Spell Essence sources to know which spell it contains.

After which, you will be able to enter the tower itself to speak to Asher, Storm of Vengeance (NPC) and have him Enscribe your Spell Essence on to scrolls at the cost of Crowns.

Asher, Storm of Vengeance (NPC) additionally sells some Spells as Spell Essence.
