If you were searching for a single shelf, that’s the first little trick the game plays on you. The Book of Spells is a collection of multi-volume series, each covering a different type of magic. As you pick up and examine the scattered books, you’ll notice titles like “Book of Spells: Water Novice ” or “Book of Spells: Wind Novice”. Each one is a full 10-volume set, and each elemental type belongs on a completely different shelf, usually on the first floor.

Where Every Book of Spells Belongs
The “Book of Spells” is actually a collection of 21 multi-volume series. They are all located on the first floor, but spread across four different shelf sections: 1L (Holy Magic), 1M (Destruction Magic), 1N (Alchemy and Potion-Making), and 1G (Magical Artifacts and Enchanting). Here is the full breakdown:
Section 1L – Holy Magic (10-Volume Sets)
- Book of Spells: Water – Novice
- Book of Spells: Wind – Novice
- Book of Spells: Light – Adept
- Book of Spells: Dimension Rift – Expert
Section 1M – Destruction Magic (10-Volume Sets)
- Book of Spells: Fire – Novice
- Book of Spells: Ice – Adept
- Book of Spells: Thunder – Adept
- Book of Spells: Shadow – Adept
- Book of Spells: Fluid – Expert
- Book of Spells: Pulverization – Expert
Section 1N – Alchemy and Potion-Making (10-Volume Sets)
- Book of Spells: Earth – Novice
- Book of Spells: Forest Creation – Expert
Section 1G – Magical Artifacts and Enchanting (5-Volume Sets)
- Book of Spells: Space – Legendary
- Book of Spells: Explosion – Legendary
- Book of Spells: Time – Legendary
- Book of Spells: Energy – Legendary
- Book of Spells: Gravitation – Master
- Book of Spells: Matter Creation – Master
- Book of Spells: Abyss – Master
- Book of Spells: Psychokinesis – Master
Pro-Tip: The difficulty level in the title (Novice, Adept, Expert, Master, Legendary) is a huge clue to the book’s volume count. If it says “Master” or “Legendary,” it’s a 5-volume set and belongs in section 1G. If it says anything else, it’s a 10-volume set and belongs in 1L, 1M, or 1N.
How to Sort Them Quickly & Efficiently
Here are a few practical tips to speed things up:
- Use the Shelf Guide Spell: As you progress and complete shelves, you’ll unlock the “Shelf Guide” major magic ability. When you pick up a book, activating this spell will highlight the exact shelf it belongs on, removing all guesswork.
- Look for Clues on the Cover: The game gives you visual cues. For example, books for Destruction Magic (1M) often have gemstone icons on their spines. Use these details to quickly group books even before you know their exact shelf.
- Group First, Shelve Later: A top strategy from the pros is to not run each book to its shelf one by one. Instead, create small “sorting hubs” or piles near the correct sections. Pick up books, sort them by color or theme, and drop them in the right general area. This cuts down massively on travel time.
- Use the “Assemble” Spell: Once you’ve invested some points, the “Assemble” spell is your best friend. It pulls multiple books from the same series directly to you, making it much faster to complete a full 10-volume set.
You’ll know you’ve nailed it when the label above the entire section lights up in a cool, brilliant blue. Hopefully, this guide helps you make short work of the magical mess. If you find any other tricky books, let me know, and I can help you figure out their homes too.
FAQs
Are all “Book of Spells” the same?
No. They are a series of multi-volume sets, each based on a specific element or magic type, like Water, Wind, Fire, or Lightning.
Where do I find most of them?
They’re usually scattered around the first floor, often grouped together near the entrance. If you find one upstairs, just toss it down immediately.
What’s the quickest way to spot one?
Look for books with gemstone icons decorating the cover. This is a consistent visual clue for spell books.
Do I need to read every single title?
Not really. Once you recognize the gemstone cover style, you can quickly sort them without reading the full title every time.
My shelf isn’t turning blue! why?
This is the most common issue. Double-check that you haven’t accidentally placed a 5-volume Legendary or Master book (which belongs in 1G) onto a 10-volume shelf in 1L, 1M, or 1N. One wrong book will prevent the blue completion glow.
I put all 10 books on the shelf, why it’s still not blue?
Volume order matters. The books must be placed from left to right in the correct numerical order (Volume 1 on the far left, Volume 10 on the far right).
