Comprehensive Spell Combinations in Dragon Age: Origins
Magic is a fundamental element in the Dragon Age universe, and utilizing spell combinations can significantly increase your team’s effectiveness in battle. These combinations occur when specific spells are cast on the same target.
In Dragon Age: Origins, players can discover ten unique spell combinations. Each combination unveiled generates an entry in the player’s Codex within the game.
| Spell Name | Combination | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Reanimation | Spell Might + Animate Dead | Summons a skeleton minion equal to 0.9x the caster’s level. |
| Combination | Death Hex + Death Cloud | If a target affected by Death Hex enters a Death Cloud, it triggers Entropic Death, inflicting 200 + 2x your number of Specialization Points in spirit damage. |
| Flame Quencher | Grease Fire (Grease + Any Fire Spell) + Blizzard | Extinguishes a Grease Fire. |
| Grease Fire | Grease + Any Fire Spell | Igniting Grease (cast using the Grease spell) creates a Grease Fire, causing 30 fire damage every 1.5 seconds for 20 seconds to any target within the area. |
| Improved Drain | Vulnerability Hex + Drain Life or Mana Drain | Combining the Vulnerability Hex with Drain Life increases damage by 100% and healing by 100%. Pairing it with Mana Drain extracts 50% more mana from the target. |
| Nightmare | Sleep + Horror | Nightmare inflicts 100 + 1x the number of Specialization Points in spirit damage, dispelling the Sleep effect and applying Horror to the target. |

| Shattering | Petrify or Cone of Cold or Hand of Winter + Critical Hit or Stonefist or Crushing Prison | This combination instantly eliminates the target, but it does not affect enemies ranked Lieutenant or higher. |
