Spells that are not recorded in your default Spellbook, but will have to be discovered through your travels. Though I'm noting the places where you can find these spells, you can generally use them in book 4 even if you never discovered them in previous books.

TOP: If you go down to the cliffs of Daddu-Ley from the gate of Analand, you will discover a number of clues regarding this spell, and will have to cast it in order to go back up the cliffs. Requires a golden hair to cast


The hidden spells of Courga. If you climb to the very top of the Ziggurat of Courga, you will have a chance to cast:

TAK - Obtain Magic Item. Whcih one depends on what you do:
[Close my fist] --> [Just grab]: Random
[Close my fist] --> [Wait for the green sparks]: Obtain Green-haired wig.
[Close my fist] --> [Wait for the black sparks]: Obtain Black Facemask.
[Close my fist] --> [Wait for the gold sparks]: Obtain Gold-backed Mirror or Sun Jewel
[Close my fist] --> [Wait for the white sparks]: Obtain Bone Bracelet.
TAR - Temporarily grow a shell, recovering stamina.
TUK - Feel like you've eaten a large meal, recovering stamina.
PUR – Make cats meow.
LAK – Rain spell.
LUK – Gives you a random clue / werewolf password.

SSS - Allows you to compell the Seven Serpents to share information. 2 questions each, topics include Mampang (clues for book 4) the Serpent's weakness, the location of the other serpents, and the Sham. It can be found in the cave on the cliffside (Ancient World), Bria's home (ditto) and the beacon in the forest. Requires the Serpent ring you get from the blind noble in Sorcery 2.

ZOB - Create a Rock Demon (an incredibly tough monster). Requires a Rock Demon tooth (huge, diminishes your stamina while carrying it). Can be learned from a spellbook bought in the Black Elf caravan, Bria also hints about the spell. You'll find one tooth in the Kariamma tunnels, and another by climbing the mountain towards Bria's abode in the present time. You can only carry one tooth at a time.
Counter-spell: SOB

TUF - Cast in the circle below the steppe beacon (Ancient World). Increases your maximum stamina by 4(!) points. Requires a Yellow Feather as an ingredient. One can be found when leaving the tunnels past the village of Kariamma. Another can be found by foraging in the western part of the forest, below the bridge - search the trees and the nest. You can only have 1 feeather in your inventory at once, so you'll have to backtrack if you want both stamina increases. You may have to visit the circle at night to learn the spell, then wait until daytime to cast it.

SOB - Summons a Snattacat. Disocvered underneath the Whispering Bridge (in the valley, you can't discover it from the bridge location itself) or at the Old Door leading into the fields of inner Mampang. Uses up a Snattacat tooth.
Counter-spell: ZOB
