This is a list of feats that affect spells, spell-like abilities, or are specifically helpful to spellcasters. Some of these feats will appear here, even if they are also on other lists, if they are still helpful to spellcasting characters. This list does not include Channeling, Item Creation, or Metamagic feats, nor does it include feats available only to select few classes (see Class-Specific Feats on this page). Feats on this list in italics are available (and useful) to non-spellcasters.
