Spells: What are spells in League of Legends?

Spells are abilities players can equip to their champions, with the maximum number of spells being two. They are chosen in the champion selection screen and are used in the game to assist the player’s champion in many different ways.

When it comes to availability, players start with only two summoner spells unlocked. It takes getting to summoner level 9 to finally unlock all available eleven summoner spells that players can choose from.

What summoner spells can players choose from?

As mentioned above, there are eleven standard summoner spells players can choose from freely. Those are:

Heal

Heals your champion, plus the teammate closest to the cursor for 80-318 health, depending on your level. It also gives a 30% movement boost to both champions for one second.
