Epic spell

Epic spells represent the pinnacle of spellcasting prowess.

Epic spellcasters begin to understand how magic really works. Through application of formidable intellect, vast wisdom, or sheer force of personality, a spellcaster can manipulate cosmic and personal energy directly. Epic spells are neither considered arcane, nor divine, thus all spellcasting classes capable of casting ninth level spells can learn how to cast them.

In Neverwinter Nights, epic spells are implemented as feats that are selected while gaining levels. Each epic spell can be chosen once, and each epic spell is usable once per day. Epic spells appear on their own submenu of the "Cast Spell" option in the radial menu, alongside the submenus for each class. This submenu appears when a character reaches epic status (character level 21).

Since epic spells are not "true" spells, they are not subject to many of the restrictions imposed on "normal" spells. Epic spells cannot be countered, nor can they be interrupted. Spell failure does not apply to epic spells, including arcane spell failure from armor and shields.
