Spells

The sheer volume of spells printed in both the Starfinder and Pathfinder Player Core rulebooks represents the timeless nature of magic's universal efficacy. That said, many Pathfinder spells that modify equipment can cause problems in Starfinder, especially those that apply armor and weapon runes, which aren't effective on Starfinder equipment. Furthermore, spellcasters selecting non-damaging spells should spend some time reviewing Starfinder options, as abilities like darkvision, flight, and other utility options might be necessary to compete with the augmentations and other tech items that can affordably replicate these spell effects, or might become less desirable choices because of the existence of such technology.
