Eldritch Knight Spell List
Eldritch Knight's Spell List is the same as the Wizard's, but with only non-cantrip spells from the schools of Abjuration or Evocation plus every wizard cantrip. However, Eldritch Knights may learn a spell from the entire wizard spell list at levels 3 and 8. The Replacement Spell Feature also allows an Eldritch Knight to swap any known spell with any spell from the full wizard spell list, once per level starting at class level 4.
The following spell list is the limited version. For the full list of Wizard spells from every spell school, see Wizard Spell List.
