While Invocations may not directly be spells fromDungeons and Dragons, they are features for the Warlock that either give themaccess to other spellsor improve the ones they have available. With the Invocations Expanded mod, players will have access not only to the multiple Invocations that are already available but also plenty of new ones that can be found within the various 5th EditionDungeons and Dragonsbooks.
While some of these have been directly added to the game as they are written and work in the tabletop, other Warlock Invocations have been tweaked by the modder to better balance the gameplay inBaldur’s Gate 3.

While some mods simply add additional spells fromDungeons and Dragons, others not only add the magic but also the subclasses that use them the most. Players who wish to try something new as a Ranger may be interested in the Monster Slayer subclass, which is one of the popular subclasses from the D&D tabletop RPG that wasn’t included inBaldur’s Gate 3.
OriginalDungeons and Dragonsspells like Zone of Truth have been implemented with this mod and give the player something new to experiment with. In particular, creating an area where the player can’t be deceived may open up some new scenarios on how to deal with a situation.

Like the Invocations Expanded mod, there are other available mods that add further features to some spell-casting classes inBaldur’s Gate 3, that were originally inDungeons and Dragonsbut didn’t make it toBaldur’s Gate 3. Metamagic Extended is a great mod for players who have enjoyed playing as a Sorcerer, but wish they had some more Metamagic options.
Metamagic options like Transmuted Spell have the capability of entirely changing the elemental damage done by a spell to allow players to attack with more variety while still being limited to the spells they already have. While this may not add any new spells fromDungeons and Dragons, these Metamagic options that are also from the tabletop have just as much potential, as well as being available to beused with other mods.
3Mystra’s Spells

While previous mods only added a few new spells for players to experiment with, Mystra’s Spells takes it to the next level as it spoils players with choice. This mod adds 132 new spells for the player to use across the various spellcasting classes.
Some of these spells are homebrew, meaning they were created by the creator of the mod, while others have been directly pulled or inspired by theirDungeons and Dragonscounterparts that weren’t originally added to the game. Players who don’t want to be incredibly overpowered by these new spells don’t need to worry, as each spell has been handcrafted from the ground up to fully implement them with the combat ofBaldur’s Gate 3.

This, therefore, means a lot of content has been incorporated into the RPG to allow players to feel as if they are playing like the class that was introduced toDungeons and Dragonsin Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.
This mod also adds two new spells fromDungeons and DragonstoBaldur’s Gate 3, as it allows the players to use Mending, to fix their constructs and Absorb Elements. However, there are still plenty of features for the class that feel like spells, too.
