Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed The Compleat Spell Caster in Space Gamer No. 72. [1] Sheeley commented that "Unfortunately, The Compleat Spell Caster won't much help people playing Chivalry & Sorcery , and would only add confusion to AD&D. These games already have quite complete magic systems. Only a game with a small magic system would benefit." [1]
