World Spells[]

Each Civilization has a unique and powerful spell to be cast only one time per game. These spells are so powerful to affect the entire world, and sometimes they define the strategy of the caster civilization. In the late game the riutal Birthright Regained, if completed, reset the civilization world spell and allow a second casting.

You will be affeted from the world spells of other civilization, even if you never encountered them. A typical situation is when for no apparent reason you lose access to spellcasting or building: you have to pay attention to a little advice on the bottm right of the screen, that tells you may not use spells or build.
