Generally, it is simply a harmful fire-like blast, but sometimes it is used to summon other obstacles and enemies or to transform objects such as [[block]]s into them. Spells in the ''Super Mario'' franchise are almost always made up of glowing geometric shapes such as circles, triangles, and squares; these patterns occur on uses of magic other than as projectiles as well, such as powering up and teleportation.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
{{todo Super Mario|section=y|list=
*Include a list of the objects/enemies that can be summoned by spells in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and their rates
}}
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', spells are used by all of the Koopalings except [[Wendy]] and [[Lemmy]], who instead use [[ring (projectile)|candy ring]]s and [[magical ball]]s, respectively. They are made up of a trail of three white oval rings (colored gold in remakes) that grow larger the further from their source they get.

====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', spells are used by Magikoopas. One appears as a single circle, triangle, and square that blink the same colors as each other. Spells that come into contact with [[Rotating Block]]s transform the block into either items or enemies.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', spells are again used by Magikoopas. Ordinary Magikoopas always cast orange spells that turns into rolling [[fireball (obstacle)|fireball]]s, but the boss [[Kamella]] also uses green spell that turns into a [[Green Shell]]. The latter can be hit with a [[Spin|Star Spin]] to grab the shell immediately.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', spells are used by both the Koopalings and by [[Kamek|Magikoopa]]. The former create large blasts the same color as their wands, while the latter creates smaller blue blasts that can change the blocks during his battle. The former type can occasionally be found independently in levels leading up to the fights against the Koopalings.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Magikoopas again use spells like in the predecessor, but are now able to summon enemies such as [[Mini Goomba]]s and [[Li'l Cinder]]s rather than only fireballs.

====''Super Mario 3D Land'' / ''Super Mario 3D World''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Magikoopas again use spells similar to in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. However, here, the spell is purple and does not summon anything, being simply a projectile attack.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the Koopalings use the same spells they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', [[Larry]], [[Iggy]], [[Ludwig]], and Magikoopa all use the same spells as they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Iggy uses an additional type, colored orange and with eyes, that spawns a [[Magmaargh]] when it touches [[lava]]. Additionally, Magikoopa's spells now turn [[magical platform]]s into [[Donut Block]]s. Rather than summon enemies, the spells release enemies that are visibly trapped inside larger blocks during his battle.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Magikoopas use transforming spells similar to their appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Magikoopas have the same spells as in the predecessor, while the Koopalings appear with their own types of spells. The sprites for the Koopalings' spells in the 2D styles is based on the oval shape from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
In the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' games, spells appear whenever [[Kamek]] is faced directly, usually while on foot. Here, each spell appears as a yellow circle, red triangle, and blue square clumped together and rapidly spinning.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
In the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series, spells are used by all types of Magikoopas as an attack. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the Koopalings also use it.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
In the ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'' series, spells again are used as an attack by Magikoopas and the Koopalings.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''===
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', the [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]] event has Kamek use a white spell on five [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s to trap them inside a cage. Four [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s then carry the cage into a [[Castle]].

===''Mario Tennis Fever''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Fever]]'', the [[Magic Racket]]'s [[Fever Shot]] creates a wand on the court which periodically launches spells at the players on that side of the court. If they hit a player, their racket is transformed into a frying pan which can only make flat shots.
