What's a Dark Souls or The Legend of Zelda-inspired adventure without a sprinkling of Spells to cast? It seems like Hollow Knight agrees, as there's a bunch of Spells to collect and cast, ranging from healing your knight to damaging his enemies.

In this guide, we're going to detail the location and unlock requirements for every single Spell in Hollow Knight, so you can turn into a bonafide wizard. Collecting spells works towards your 100% completion as well, so if you're a completionist this is a task well worth undertaking.
