Wuchang Fallen Feathers All Spell Locations

There are 40 Magic Spells in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Finding all Spell Locations is not needed for any trophies or achievements.

The spells can be equipped and used to cast different types of magic. This consumes “Skyborn Might” which is effectively the mana in this game. You refill Skyborn Might by using certain attacks, depending on what weapon you are using. A large amount of spells is automatically dropped from bosses. Some are rewards from NPC questlines and picking specific dialogue choices, which is highly missable. A few are bought from Wu Gang merchant. The rest is found around the world, they appear as white glowing orbs and are automatically picked up when going near them. Having all spells allows for more strategic gameplay to exploit boss weaknesses.

Everything in the first region Worship’s Rise is missable. This region becomes unavailable after talking to the Storyteller in Region 3: Mt. Zhenwu – Zhenwu Altar. They don’t carry over into New Game+.
